"Formed nearly a decade ago in Long Island, New York, indie pop/rock duo The Narrative sprung onto the scene in 2008 with their debut EP, Just Say Yes, and continued to build buzz with their 2010 full-length, self-titled debut. Several successful tour outings, tons of media praise, and a loyal fanbase forged from DIY ethics characterized the following years, but the band have been relatively quiet since the 2012 release of their b-sides compilation, B-Sides and Seasides. Ready for some good news? The Narrative’s long-awaited sophomore LP will arrive early this year, and we have a brand new track, “Moving Out,” exclusively streaming below!

The Narrative began work on their upcoming album in 2012, with sessions in a barn in upstate New York that took longer than planned, as they began recording lots of different instruments and more complex arrangements. Life outside of the band also pulled the duo in different directions, with guitarist/vocalist Jesse Gabriel’s release of a solo album, and keyboardist/vocalist Suzie Zeldin’s involvement in Chris Carrabba-fronted folk rock outfit Twin Forks. It’s been a long road, but after a year spent mixing with Richard Flack in the UK, and mastering from Sam Moses in Nashville, the album is finally finished, and will soon be released.

The band are now partially, soon to be fully, based in Nashville, so in addition to new music, you can almost surely expect to see some live dates in the near future. We’ll keep you posted! Stream “Moving Out” below."


I wanna get out of the suburbs,
let my hair grow wild
and find a place I don't need money
just to raise a child

I wanna die out in the forrest
with my face in the earth
and if my daughter never loves me
then I want it to hurt

I see the city try to swallow
what I used to call home
I see it blanketing the streets,
now they're covered in gold

but in the corners where the light
never seemed to lay still
I see a group of angry kids
and they're looking to kill!
I see a group of angry kids
and they're looking to kill!

and oh, I see it now
we'll all be moving out
when all the kingdoms fall
we'll finally see it all

you know I used to laugh a lot
with my friends in the dark
and now they only hear the clock
so we don't even talk

and there are diamonds in our pockets
and they're dying to be sold
but if you're searching for the dollar
then you'll only find coal!
if you're searching for the dollar
then you'll only find coal!

and oh, I see it now
we'll all be moving out
when all the kingdoms fall
we'll finally see it all

my, my
when will it end?
just take my hungry body
to the woods again
show my eyes
the rising sun
bury me in everything
we started from

I wanna get out of the suburbs,
let my hair grow wild
so I can gather up the earth
and pass it down to my child
