Indie rockers The National Parks have shared their new single "Where Are You", and have announced that they will be releasing their brand new studio album, "Wild Spirit" on August 23rd.
The band had this to say about the new single, "Not too long ago I began to go through a season of life that led to a lot of existential questioning. I didn't realize at the time that I would be setting out on such a long, difficult, beautiful and challenging journey that would lead me to question things that were always concrete reality to me. I would lay awake at night feeling like I could never catch my breath.
"I wrote this song after feeling like I had run part of a mental marathon, knowing that there was more ground to cover on my journey, but being okay with taking a break before running again. It's a song about knowing where you want to be but being unsure of how to get there or how long it's going to take and being okay with that for a moment."
In addition to festival appearances including Lollapalooza this summer, the band will be hitting the road for the Wild Spirit Tour, including dates across the U.S., U.K. and Ireland. Stream the new song and see the dates below:
