About

“Old Death” is the first new music in 20 years from Charles Bissell, the singer-writer-producer of the Wrens, his first release since the landmark album The Meadowlands.

The song and music video are about time, how one chooses to spend it, and what those choices cost. Set within the emotional framework of an old portable television with shoddy reception, Charles takes us on an odyssey of music, memory, and mortality.
