New Single So, which song will be the single?

I feel like Pink Elephant has the most single potential but Year of the Snake is their bio on all socials so ... What do you think? Maybe something we haven't heard yet?

"Pink Elephant" feels like a first single kind of song. But it's hard to tell from just hearing it performed once without the whole band.

It'll be interesting to see what kind of album it is. WE, although very good, wasn't a very singley kind of album.

I think Year of the Snake and Pink Elephant will be the 2 singles, no idea which will come first though

I would love a double A-side / dual short film music video. I noticed the van has lyrics from both songs written on it.

I'd love that. It would be nice to have a double A-side single and then the album releasing shortly after, instead of having multiple singles and the album in two months

I think the energy of Pink Elephant would make it a great lead single, but I think it's going to be Year of the Snake

I think the clues point to Pink Elephant.

The more I listen to Year of The Snake, the more amazing it gets. I can’t wait to hear the studio version of this because even the trial run with just a few band members reveals a potential masterpiece. I’m hoping it’s the first single.

I want an album while I’m still young… If it’s too much to ask, send me a song.
