“Better Than You” is the first single off Magic Gone, the forthcoming album from Petal, which is due out on June 15 via Run For Cover Records. Juxtaposing the rough grit of the instrumentation with the clarity of the vocals, provided by Kiley Lotz, a narrative of personal/private struggle against the external projection emerges. Finding a balance between the bright and the bleak, it’s emotively energetic. Petal, along with Body Guard, will be support for Cave People’s record release celebration on Thursday, April 12 at Boot & Saddle.
