Ravens & Chimes will release their new album The Empty House on March 22 via Better Looking Records (pre-order). This week they shared their new single “Irreplaceable Artifacts” with MXDWN and the track will be available on all digital streaming services this Friday. About the song MXDWN says, 'The song has a loping rhythm and eerie instrumentation that recall vintage heartland rock with a strong mix of modern indie rock influence. The song breaks down to the earnestly-sung vocals and a kick drum at the end, allowing Ravens & Chimes to strip the song down to its barest elements. It's a fitting ending to an elaborately arranged yet ultimately straightforward rock song.'
