Good Terms Re-Imagines "Wither Away"

originally published: 07/03/2022

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Los Angeles’s friendly neighborhood emo band Good Terms is back with a re-imagining of their single “Wither Away” from their 2021 album Turning Point. This somber acoustic rendition adds a new layer of feeling to the already impassioned track filling the listener with a burning desire to live a life they love.

“'Wither Away' was born out of the desperation we felt from wasting our early twenties living lifestyles that routinely depleted our creativity and inspiration. With this new acoustic version of the song, we incorporated sensitive, minimalist production to emphasize the song's impassioned lyrics & inspirational message to "quit your day job" and create a new life fueled by passion.” - Good Terms

After years of working behind-the-scenes in the music industry, this group of best friends finally joined forces to get back to the roots of what made them first fall in love with music. The Los Angeles based quartet embraces the D.I.Y. spirit of the scene they grew up in by recording, producing, and mixing all of their music. Good Terms maintains a diverse sonic palette that spans from anthemic emo pop to blistering double time hardcore, with a sprinkle of everything you know and love from the scene universe. Good Terms invites you to become a part of their community and participate in the catharsis they’ve found together. 

"Wither Away" is available to stream and purchase here.
