Last month, Philly’s Bad History Month (Sean Sprecher) announced a new album, God Is Luck, which follows the just-released True Delusion EP. We’ve already heard the new album’s title track, and today Sprecher is sharing another album track called “Touch The Riff.”

“I re-learned ‘Touch The Riff’ recently and I like it better than I thought,” Sprecher explains. “It always felt kinda cheesy and repetitive, but now that I’m singing the words again, I think they carry it through. It’s sadder than I remember. The fire burns out. But who needs honeymoons. Forget the fading dream. Take the risk and eat the fruit. It’s beautiful to feel the sweet tension for a bit.”
