Spiritbox Release New Acoustic Reimagining Of ‘Constance’

---

Spiritbox have shared a stunningly haunting, acoustic version, of their 2020 hit ‘Constance’. The up and comers newly reimagined version was recorded in a church with accompaniment from a string trio earlier this year in conjunction with The Grammy Museum COLLECTION:live in partnership with BMG.

“This live version of Constance was a very ambitious project for us.” Spiritbox guitarist, Mike Stringer shares, “Before we left to start recording Eternal Blue, I had a rough demo of an acoustic version of Constance written. While we were tracking the album, the Grammy Museum asked us if we’d want to contribute to their “Collection:Live” series with a live acoustic/stringed composition of the song, check it out here. Of course this was a huge honour for us and something we couldn’t turn down, but it posed a challenge as we were recording in the middle of the desert, and I had never written a string composition before.”

“After learning how to turn midi into notation, and some back and forth with our producer Dan Braunstein, and violinist Haruka Horii, we had a version we were confident in. This was the first time we had ever performed this song live, and the addition of the strings by Haruka Horii, Bonnie Brooksbank, and Mark Bassett really brought this whole thing to life. Putting this together was a great experience, and I hope to explore more acoustic compositions in the future with Spiritbox.”

The release is available on all streaming platforms now here, and a visualiser can be watched here:

Alongside the release of the acoustic version, Spiritbox have announced the release of a very special, limited edition 7″ butterfly picture disc of ‘Constance’. The picture disc, which features a blue butterfly in ode to the jumper Courtney wore in the original ‘Constance’ music video is available now and can be purchased here.
