Maryland trio Pinkshift have shared the double single, Reflections / Don’t Fight, that showcase the dual nature of their upcoming album and, ultimately, the band. Both tracks are taken their upcoming album, Earthkeeper, that is set to drop on August 29th via Hopeless Records. Pinkshift will soon embark on a headline tour and in-store activities around album release on the East Coast and in their native Baltimore.

“‘Don’t Fight’ and ‘Reflection’ are opposite ends of Earthkeeper. They kind of balance each other out. ‘Don’t Fight’ is grief ignited by anger, and’ Reflection’ is softness in power. ‘Don’t Fight’ came from an idea [guitarist] Paul [Vallejo] brought to the band, and that’s him singing the choruses. They inspired me in a time of grieving, and I felt drawn to something less melodic. My verses are more like shouted poems, feeling a sense of discord and anguish. ‘Reflection’ is,on the other hand, written from a place of feeling softness and lightness. That reflection is the presence ofthe Earthkeeper, my friends beyond the veil, and my ancestors. I feel the grief of their loss, but maybe our relationship is more magical now in ways that I can’t understand all the time. Their time on Earth, in my life, shaped who I am today. That version of me can choose how I’d like to see the world.” (singer Ashrita Kumar)
