Rooted sonically in Heavy Psychedelic Prog Rock and thematically in introspection, Colorado’s Source present the new single offering, “What Remains.” The track lands ahead of the forthcoming 5th studio album, “Resurgence.” The full length is scheduled to arrive independently on January 15, 2027.

On the new release, Source shares:
“‘What Remains’ asks the question: what is left when all hope is lost? When everything I’ve believed is shattered, what remains? It looks at desperation and attachment to outcomes as one of the last barriers to the truth beneath all my delusions and invites surrendering to what remains.“
Thematically, the track was inspired by the band’s personal experiences with touring; the hidden workload behind and the scenes, the moments missed and sacrifices made. “There were a few tours specifically where we all felt an unfathomable sense of dread that we had no control over our future as musicians.” Vocalist, guitarist and keyboardist Benjamin Gleason comments. “But underneath that dread was this sensation of being fully present in the current moment. A new connection with the truth of our lives which felt safe and secure.“
“What Remains” begins with a captivating bass melody that builds into an anthemic progression. Instrumental layers gradually emerge creating a softer, more emotional sound that takes inspiration from bands such as The Cure and A Perfect Circle. Heavy distorted guitars, the driving Melodic bass and Electronic percussion provide movement with a a swooning 6/8 feel.
“Resurgence” was produced by Benjamin Gleason and recorded at Cymatic Sounds Studios with engineer Justin Mirarck. Mixed by Benjamin Gleason and Justin Mirarck, and mastered by Tom Capeck. The album artwork for “Resurgence” is by Mike Gamble.
Backing vocals on “Resurgence” are performed by Wes Watkins, Yasmine Hunter, Emma Phillips-Strain and Chipo Muzilikazi.
Alongside the announcement of “Resurgence,” limited edition multifoil, layered, textured posters of the album’s cover art are available for pre-order. The striking artwork was created by artist Mike Gamble, who is best known for his thought provoking work and designs for TOOL.
