THE CALLING<\/strong> have today (July 10) returned with \u201cDust,\u201d<\/strong> the powerful first single and video from their upcoming album, BEFORE THE WORLD TURNS TO DUST<\/strong>. <\/strong>Marking the band\u2019s third album <\/strong>and first since 2004, the 15-track record will be released this fall (exact date TBA) digitally and on vinyl and CD via TLG | Virgin Music Group<\/strong>. Listen to \u201cDust\u201d<\/strong> HERE<\/a> and watch the compelling video HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Los Angeles group is led by singer, songwriter, and guitarist Alex Band<\/strong> alongside members Daniel Damico<\/strong> (lead guitar, keyboards, backing vocals) and Dom Liberati<\/strong> (bass). They\u2019ve returned to build on their signature rock sound that\u2019s filled with big ascending melodies, emotionally absorbing lyrics, and Band<\/strong>\u2019s moving vocals. These are the same elements that powered THE CALLING\u2019<\/strong>s 2001 single \u201cWherever You Will Go,\u201d<\/strong> notably the second-longest running #1 hit (23 weeks) on Billboard\u2019s Adult Top 40 chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was initially writing \u2018Dust\u2019 as a timeless love song set in an apocalyptic world\u2014kind of like what ours feels like at the moment\u2014but then the song got a bit deeper,\u201d says Band<\/strong> about the song which captivates with its lines \u201cBefore the world turns to dust\/ Love will find us.\u201d \u201cAt the time,\u201d he adds, \u201cI was learning a lot about quantum physics and astrophysics and that brought in a different meaning. We’re all basically born from cosmic dust and connected by the same energy that flows through us. If you look close enough, everything in the universe is even made of the same core elements. Maybe love amplifies that subatomic connection? Maybe love can even transcend space and time? All of this was running through my head while writing \u2018Dust.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
