One Step Closer announce new album All You Embrace, share "Leap Years"
One Step Closer have announced their sophomore album, All You Embrace, due May 17 via Run For Cover (preorder). They made it with producer/engineer Jon Markson (who’s also worked with Koyo, Drain, Drug Church, and more), and it finds them going in a more melodic direction. The first taste, appropriately released on Leap Day, is “Leap Years,” and that comes with a video co-directed by Derek Rathbun and the band.
“I wanted to showcase One Step Closer in its fullest state,” says vocalist Ryan Savitski of the new album. “Every single part of the band, I wanted it to be there. I wanted us to be 100% ourselves and be as authentic to our band as we could possibly be.”
