Spiritbox have released 'Mourning', their first new song since the 2025 album Tsunami Sea. The track leans into restrained, atmospheric guitar layers before expanding into heavier textures, with guitarist Mike Stringer co-producing alongside Dan Braunstein.
The single arrived with an official video co-directed by Stringer and Alex Bemis, shifting the band's visual language away from the stark monochrome look of the previous album cycle. It lands just before Spiritbox begin a UK and European headline run on September 12 with Jinjer and Dying Wish.
Why it matters
For guitar listeners, 'Mourning' is the first concrete signal of Spiritbox's post-Tsunami Sea direction, with Stringer's production and layered guitar approach central to the change.
