"Brace Yourself!" is the first single from Balsam Grove's upcoming debut full-length album, released by Just Noise Music in January 2020. It is the first Balsam Grove record to feature Jim Tobakos (Amanita, Caves of Glass) on lead guitar.

"With distinctive, breakneck drum patterns teeming with silvery jazz-influenced guitar lines and emotional vocals that seem to sway between the abrupt and the contained, this track delivers a soundscape experience that is trip the light fantastic. The listener will find themselves immersed with a distinctive sound that they will be hitting the replay button again and again long after the track is finished." - Sammie Starr, New Fury Media

lyrics

Brace yourself! Change is coming soon
Just wait and see, a hint of clarity
My soul is scared for what is yet to come
So come prepared; Oh God, I'm feeling numb
Carried by the sea, send us to the shore
I'm staring at my feet, I wait for something more
I won't settle for less, this is the calm before the storm
So hold on; I might never return

I wait for something more (there must be something more)
Pray for my safe return (I'm never coming home)

Downward spiral, I observe that everything's a test
Shipwrecked, desolate; I just wanna fucking see the light of day again

I wait for something more (there must be something more)
Pray for my safe return (I'm never coming home)

Downward spiral, I observe that everything's a mess
Brace yourself! I need to patch my sails
I'm falling apart, yet determined to prevail
I just wanna fucking see the light of day again
