This week, Sinai Vessel (Caleb Cordes) will release his new album I SING, which features already-shared singles “Best Witness,” “How,” “Birthday,” “Attack,” and “Laughing.” Today, Cordes has unveiled one more track, the sweetly downtempo and homespun “Challenger.”

Here’s what Cordes had to say about “Challenger”:

This song – as with much of I SING – is concerned with aging into a phase of life where survival under capitalism has the potential to complicate all kinds of relationships. It particularly deals with my experience dating a partner from a more well-off background – something that dredged up a lot of surprising issues for me by no fault of that person at all. It’s also simply about the effort to maintain some sense of health in a world that can constantly feel quite threatening.

Listen to “Challenger” below.
