Texas indie-rockers Corusco started as an acoustic project with vocalist/guitarist Aaron Gonzalez during Fall of 2015, eventually turning into a full band with the addition of bassist Philip Baugh and round out with drummer Carlos Garza. The collection of songs written on the band’s first tour together would become their debut EP, Don’t Give Up, released in 2016.

After a period of playing shows around Texas, Corusco returned to the studio in 2017. With the help of producer Aaron Gillespie (Underoath/The Almost), the band tracked and recorded seven songs for their debut full-length album, Wake. Set for release on May 25th, 2018, Wake is inspired by the idea that each song on it’s own is a piece of a larger mosaic that come together to recreate a variety of memories encapsulated within the album. Today we’re thrilled to premiere the new track “New Year” below! The song’s poppy elements mingle perfectly with a harder rock edge, all culminating in an unforgettable final minute. Turn this one up LOUD.

 
Vocalist Aaron Gonzalez on the song:

“This song is about a first kiss that felt as if it were plucked right out of a movie. It was one of those moments that felt suspended in time and I tried to capture that with New Year. We joke about it, but this might be our only happy song.”
