SONG: "Comfort"
ARTIST: Royal Psalms
ALBUM: "Last Psalms"
YEAR: 2016
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Albany, New York
YEARS ACTIVE: 2013 - 2016
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Comfort" appears to be a song about not being comfortable in known environments. You often hear people talk about the comforts of home or the comforts of being in a place you are familiar with. The vocalist is the exact opposite of this. He feels stuck by the boring and mundane life he's leading in familiar settings. He wants to change his life and his environment.
ROYAL PSALMS DISCOGRAPHY (Full length albums only):
Royal Psalms never released a full length album. They only have an EP and a 2 song single in their catalog.
MY THOUGHTS ON ROYAL PSALMS:
Royal Psalms was a New York band that formed out of the ashes of the bands Daytrader, Crime In Stereo and Aficianado back in 2013. In 2015, the band dropped an EP titled "I Could Have Been Anything". While the band toured in 2015 to support this EP, the project seemed to be short lived. In 2016, they released 2 new songs that they had been working on and pretty much said that those songs were probably the last and that Royal Psalms was pretty much done at that point. Royal Psalms plays a style that's somewhat indie rock and alternative rock with a touch of grunge. I first heard of this band through DyingScene.com. "Dig" is the track that caught my ear the most from this band. That song almost sounds like it comes right out of 1994, in fact, I initially thought it was a cover song! Anyways, it's too bad these guys seemed to stop being a band as soon as they started. There was definitely some promise with this band but sometimes these things just don't work out.
