Michael J. Foxworthy by Small Reactions
Small Reactions are in the midst of bouncing back from a few months of of behind-the-scenes work with word of Similar Phantoms, a new album that’s reportedly about 90 percent finished and due out later this summer/early fall.

In the meantime, the group has also unleashed a new single. It’s an old song, actually. And even though “Michael J. Foxworthy,” which dates all the way back to 2010, won’t appear on the new record, the song holds some special significance for Small Reactions, as it was born of a time when the group’s members found themselves recovering from an ill-conceived and short-lived breakup.

As drummer Sean Zearfoss explains in the single’s liner notes:
?
“More than anything, this song is the sound of release. Being in a band is quite possibly the hardest yet most rewarding relationship I’ve ever been a part of. This song is like a love note to that experience. I mean, it’s not even my favorite one of our tunes, but that’s also totally irrelevant, I think.”
