Progressive indie duo All Human release free download of I’m Afraid

April 5, 2016

Progressive indie duo All Human have released their new album, Teenagers, You Don’t Have to Die and they are offering a free download of their song, I’m Afraid by heading over to Idobi Radio here. Vocalist Andy Fisher comments, “That is the first song I ever wrote fully on piano. I was quite excited. Its a very simple progression, but Id never really done that before. Lyrically its just about feeling like you’ll never get to do all the things you want to do. When writing i just kind of locked myself away all day every day and was feeling that isolation. It also preys on the whole nostalgia thing. Missing running around in the woods and catching snakes and climbing trees. We grow up and lose touch with some of our values we held when we were kids.” Brian Ferrara comments on the song, “I feel like having that isolation from each other when tracking our ideas in our demos brought out what we were both feeling in the time-frame we had done everything,” says Ferrara.
