NEW SINGLE FROM THE COMFORT: ‘ISOLATE. FIXATE. DETERIORATE.’
Brisbane alternative rock trio The Comfort share ripping new song "Isolate.Fixate.Deteriorate." off their forthcoming album, Let The Love In, out Friday October 3, with vinyl available via BreakThrough Records.
"Isolate.Fixate.Deteriorate" is a personal one for vocalist Liam Holmes. He explains: "This song comes to terms with a habit I didn’t even realise was destroying me - and the people I love. I’ve always had the urge to disappear when I’m struggling, thinking that if I locked myself away long enough, I could outthink the pain. At the time, it felt like the safest option. In reality, it was me slowly deteriorating and cutting myself off from everyone who cared."

"The song is written like a conversation with someone I love, a strange mix of confession and warning, telling them exactly how I’d pull away, without seeing the damage it would cause. It’s about the illusion of control, the comfort of isolation, and the moment you realise you’ve been romanticising your own decay."
"Isolate.Fixate.Deteriorate." joins earlier singles "Down (How Many Times Can I Lose Everything)", "Blossom" and "Stay" on the album track list. All of which have received radio and online support, with the most recent, "Stay" making The Comfort 'Featured Artist of the Week' on Kerrang! Radio's Fresh Blood .
Recorded with ARIA-nominated producer and songwriter Callan Orr, their new album sees The Comfort tapping back into the heavier energy that first defined their sound, while continuing to evolve the dark, melodic textures that have become their trademark. The album reintroduces the trio's signature blend of hook-laden riffs, introspective lyricism, and harmonious vocal duality. Let The Love In delves deep into the heart of The Comfort's identity, uncovering a simple truth: Liam Holmes (vocals/guitar), Dominic Harper (vocals/bass) and Marcus Parente (lead guitar) are three people doing everything they can to grow - through pain, through doubt, through connection. Their songs explore themes of mental health, vulnerability, and the fear of letting love in, resonating with listeners who are navigating their own internal battles.
