Background
Two singles from ...'Til the World's Blind were released ahead of its release. "Red Thunder" was released on May 16, 2023. The lyrics for that single, written by vocalists Heidi Shepherd and Carla Harvey, were inspired by Carla's sister Julia, who was born with microcephaly and died from it at a young age. "Last December" was released on June 9, 2023. The song was written in April 2020 in a Zoom meeting between Shepherd, Harvey, guitarist Henry Flury, and writer Blair Daly, inspired by Shepherd's experience with suicidal ideation in December 2019.
