Duluth, MN's Social Animals have announced their signing to Rise Records with the release of new single “Bad Things” and accompanying music video. Inspired by a superstition amongst friends – which singer/guitarist Dedric Clark refers to as “a Midwestern version of Murphy's Law” – “Bad Things” showcases moody synth tones and luminous guitar lines weaved around haunting melodies and introspective lyrics (You don't get used to an empty room/You just to get used hearing voices running over all the choices you have made). “In the Midwest, I think we're born with a looming fear that when things are going your way, they will take a turn for the worse soon after. Probably a side effect of the long winters,” Clark further explains.
