Boston trio Kal Marks are releasing a new album, Universal Care, next month, and the two tracks they’ve shared off it so far — “Adventure” and “Loosed” — have both been stunners, and the next single is no exception.

It’s a sequence of events that can make life seem both infinitesimal and all-too-short and Carl Shane sounds simultaneously bruised and optimistic here. “You’ve always got me figured out,” he sings, a puzzle waiting to be solved.
