HIMALAYAS have unleashed a brand-new single, a couple of months on from the excellent What If…?

Today the quartet drop Nothing Higher, which songwriter and guitarist Mike Griffiths says “discusses the personal struggle to find meaning against the backdrop of a chaotic and unsympathetic world, however it also offers some respite to this through love and hope.

“The two distinct parts of the song begin with a sense of uncertainty and chaos which falls away to suggest that something simpler and more hopeful may still be possible through human connection.”

Both What If…? and Nothing Higher are apparently part of a ‘heavier era’ for HIMALAYAS, with the band working with producer Pete Hutchings. “He totally got it,” enthuses Mike. “He knew we wanted to be heavier and more of a rock band. We had a chat with a few producers, and they all went well, but with Pete we were just talking to him for an hour about music, and we all felt like we clicked.”
