Ohvaur, the Chicago-based Indie Rock band, has announced the release of their latest single, “Altered Endings,” along with its new music video directed by Heath Metzger. The track is the latest single from their new album, Intertwined, set to arrive October 18, 2024.

Timothy Den, the band’s frontman, shares about the track:

This might be my favorite song on the album. It was co-written with my songwriting ‘soulmate’ since high school, Evan Rifas, who also sings much of the harmonies on it.

Den elaborates on the song’s themes:

We jokingly say that this song is our Everything Everywhere All At Once because it tackles the same question: who would we be had we made different decisions—either enormous or inconsequential—at certain points in our lives? Where would those paths have led us? I’ve often wondered who I would’ve been had I not immigrated across three continents.

The album explores themes of “endings and new beginnings, confronting loss, mortality, and the preciousness of life’s fleeting moments.”

Helping the band realize their vision for the album were Producer Matt Wallace (Faith No More, The Replacements, Maroon 5) and Faith No More bassist / songwriter Bill Gould.
