L.A. trio Sublime released “Ensenada” on July 16th. The highly-anticipated new single is from the band’s upcoming album of completely original work from the band with Jakob Nowell as the band’s new lead singer. He says, “‘Ensenada’ feels very personal. The lyrics were inspired by our various encounters with love and how we feel. Sometimes things go south and you want to lash out in different ways. For me, it’s about how you can use absurdism as a defense mechanism to escape into your own world to avoid having to experience these intense, challenging feelings. It was also really cool to study the whole Sublime catalog and try to create something inspired by it with my Uncles. I poured a lot of myself into this record and at times it was very emotionally challenging. The entire time we’re working on it, it’s like my Dad was there, it’s like I could feel his presence. I hope the fans will hear that all we were trying to do was have fun and match that classic sound – and if they hear that then we did our job right.” In May 2024, Sublime released “Feel Like That,” the band’s first new song in nearly 28 years, featuring the vocals of Jakob and Bradley Nowell.
