THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT keep making serious waves. The band—Lee Jennings (Vocals), Cody Weissinger (Guitar), Caleb Freihaut (Guitar/Auxiliary), Robert Weston (Bass), and Homer Umbanhowar (Drums)—is building on their growing success by today (April 25) releasing the lyric video for Skinny Lies. The track—sonically bracing and lyrically dark, highlighted by Jennings’ riveting vocal delivery—is one of three brand-new songs from the forthcoming deluxe edition release of their critically acclaimed second album GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY, due out June 13 via Better Noise Music.
“Skinny Lies is about the cracks in a relationship finally breaking open—the little white lies we tell each other stacking up until there’s nowhere left to hide,” explains singer Lee Jennings. “It’s that moment when the truth is out, and you find yourself wishing you could go back to the comfort of not knowing. This song captures the tension, the regret, and the raw emotions that come with facing reality.”
In connection with the release of Skinny Lies, THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT is hosting a special giveaway for fans to win a trip to Atlanta for a “Hometown Rock Ritual” concert, with proceeds supporting The Trevor Project, the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention nonprofit organization for LGBTQ young people. The grand prize includes round-trip travel to Atlanta, a two-night hotel stay for two, and two VIP tickets to their hometown show with Ice Nine Kills at the Tabernacle on Wednesday, June 4, complete with an exclusive onstage experience.
