The Faim share Me Because Of You sophomore album Talk Talk out July 8

Today, Australian rock band The Faim share their new single “Me Because Of You”. The self-produced track will appear on the band’s forthcoming album Talk Talk out July 8 via BMG.

“‘Me Because of You’ was written about embracing change and letting go of a past version of yourself,” says bassist and keyboardist Stephen Beerkens. “The lyrics recognize the huge impact that someone else can have on the process. This song was a huge milestone for us, as it’s our first release that has been self-produced!”

The track follows the previously released captivating track “The Alchemist,” the celebratory “ERA,” the adrenaline-charged “The Hills,” and the driving pop-rock anthem “Ease My Mind.”

The Australian four-piece is gearing up to release their sophomore album this summer which touches on themes of nostalgia, celebration, escapism, and self-discovery. Recorded between Los Angeles and Perth, The Faim worked with several producers on Talk Talk including Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Yungblud, Machine Gun Kelly), Erik Ron (Panic! At the Disco, Godsmack, Set It Off), and Matthew Pauling (Palaye Royale, 5 Seconds of Summer, State Champs) to showcase the band’s vast range of styles and tones.
