Video Age have shared “Better Than Ever,” the second single off their new album Away From The Castle, out October 27th via Winspear. An infectious, driving ode to the songwriting partnership between Ross Farbe and Ray Micarelli, the song is a perfect combination of hooks and sparkling production. “When one of us hits a wall, the other can usually clear a path. I love the storied tradition of songwriting duos in musical history,” says Micarelli, “it’s nice when someone believes in you.”

Across four albums, the longtime friends and songwriting partners have gleefully worn their influences on their sleeve, writing inviting tunes that reference sounds ranging from disco to pop and indie rock. For their latest LP, they’ve thrown nostalgia out the window, embracing their own unique sense of musicality for an album that feels like Video Age distilled to its purest form.
