Static

About this song

"Static" was released alongside the announcement of Sleep Theory's debut album, Afterglow, and opens the record. A music video, directed by Orie McGinness, was released at the same time and shows the band performing in a neon-violet-lit club. Critics praised the chorus and the song's blend of dance-metal beats, screams and Auto-Tune-warped vocals.

What it's about

The song is about feeling overstimulated and being unable to escape the "static" in one's mind. Vocalist Cullen Moore has said the band's busy schedule of interviews, shows and meet-and-greets created so much noise that "you can't turn it off".
