Cardboard Boxer: Growing Older

Cardboard Boxer began releasing singles off their upcoming album, Current Youth, in early March. Their first single "Pseudo Confidence" sets a happy, cheery tone that holds up the deeper, heavier lyrics. This tone continues with their latest release: "Growing Older", it captures the mid-pandemic, no-end-in-sight hopelessness while emphasizing the yearning to go back and do things differently. The band notes that "Growing Older" is "Somewhat of a forlorn sad love song covered by poppy melodies and a happy chorus", this theme and general feel will be prominent throughout the album. 

To help with the engineering on "Growing Older", Cardboard Boxer called in their friend Alex Jacobelli. The band spent hours nailing down a direction they wanted to take the song, the task that may have felt endless at the time greatly paid off.  The band is grateful for Jacobelli's help.

While recording "Growing Older", Cardboard Boxer met a pretty big accomplishment with the sound they got in the build up from the pre-chorus to the ending. The single is out on all streaming services now and will be followed with a full length album on Postmark Records in Mid-June.
