Tokyo Japan's prolific alternative punk band FVRMN return with their fifth full-length studio album, Suicides, on July 25 via Sweet Cheetah Records and Steadfast Records. Today the band unveils the official video for the album's lead track, "One Silver Drop." Watch it below.

“‘One Silver Drop‘ is a meditation on separating the desires of the past, learning to push through the desperation of the future and somehow finding a new inner identity within the fires of the present," says FVRMN's J Holmes. "[It is] a song about the moment of harsh realization that the medicine we use to stay alive is also the same dark shadow that pulls us to the abyss of inner identity and forces us to look deep into it. It’s about learning to find your balance between chemical reality and a heightened state of awareness; about belonging to yourself amidst the inner despair brought about by the world’s unstable frame.”

Suicides is a sprawling, adventurous album spearheaded and shadowed by lead songwriter J Holmes recent onset of seizures, a process that caused him to reflect on the nature of our own metaphysical mentality, the inner turbulence that we endure, and the time it takes to pick up the pieces of those who have left us behind.

Suicides is a collection of massive songs with a monstrous production for maximum impact and features an amazing list of guests on the album including: Mario Rubalcaba (Earthless, Clikatat Ikatowi, OFF!, Rocket From The Crypt), Chris McQueen (Snarky Puppy), Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno, Mark Ronson, Florence + The Machine), Sean Husick (Milemarker, Ghost Work)
