tmdistant unleashes raw emotion in new single “this will be our downfall”
Following the success of “hysteria”, which earned a spot on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Rock and received airplay on BBC Radio 1 (thanks to Alyx Holcombe and Jess Iszatt), 22-year-old alternative rock artist tmdistant is back with his new single, “this will be our downfall”, accompanied by a cinematic music video shot by Kai.
The track, produced by Matt Thorne, sees tmdistant building on his signature blend of emotional vulnerability and electrifying alt-rock energy, delivering a song that explores themes of loss, unfulfilled expectations, and coming to terms with the inevitable. With gritty guitar riffs and powerful percussion, the song captures the rawness of navigating life’s unpredictable twists.
Describing the track, tmdistant explains that it’s like a conversation with his future self, facing the reality that things didn’t turn out the way he imagined. “It’s about learning to accept the collapse of something I held onto, even when it wasn’t part of the plan. Sometimes, you have to embrace the downfall to move forward,” he shares. This message of self-acceptance and growth resonates strongly within the song’s intense sound, where moments of tention give way to release in a cathartic burst.
