New York folk-rockers The Felice Brothers are back with a new single titled “Inferno.”

Released today, the track is the band’s first taste of music since their 2019 studio album Undress. When it comes to the new track, which is named after the 1999 film starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, singer Ian Felice said:

"This song, more than anything, is about the persistence of certain mundane memories, and how they take on hidden meaning and significance, how their symbols become part of our inner lives, and how they are transformed in our minds. It’s also about youth and growth and transformation. Memories of the film are obscured through the lens of time. Does Jean Claude Van Damm actually ride a motorcycle along the banks of the Rio Grande? I don’t recall, but still I have this image in my mind. I just remember how horrible the movie was. The two characters in the song are transformed into swans in the final verse, in a dream, as they are swept into the fire of another, more frightening reality."

The official music video, which was directed by Ian, can be seen below. “Inferno” is available on all streaming services right now.
