Toronto-based pop-rock band Altered By Mom is back with their new single “Hear That Sound”, which you can stream exclusively via Aesthetic Magazine below.

“Hear That Sound” carries an infectious melody and showcases the band’s knack for classic songwriting with a sense of humor and tongue-in-cheek aesthetic. The song feels like you’re turning on the radio from another era, back in the day where smart, quirky, and unapologetically catchy songs found a place on the radio. The trade-off between the male and female vocals perfectly mix to let each personality breathe within the intricate playing. Those arrangements stay locked until the bridge lets each player show off just enough without it becoming overbearing. The song is able to bridge the gap between an immediate singalong and a musicians quintessential deep cut.

About the song, the band says: “This song always felt like it had a life of its own, and we’ve been holding it back for too long! “Hear That Sound” is about making someone else cry. It’s such a universal yet specific moment – because people cry all the time, but when it happens, nothing feels more deeply personal. In the audio world, we talk about crossfades where one bit of audio blends seamlessly into another, and sometimes relationships end and begin like that too. This song encompasses the sound of artefacts from a previous relationship fading out while a new one begins.”
