Indie Folk Act Ten Kills the Pack Share Video For “You’d Like To Believe”; New Album Out March 10

Indie folk outfit Ten Kills the Pack, lead by singer-songwriter Sean Sroka are set to release their new album Thank You for Trying: ACT II on March 10 via Nettwerk. With a handful of singles released in 2022, the band have shared the new music video for “You’d Like To Believe”, which closed off the year for the group.

Known for his striking, yet minimalistic folk songwriting style, “You’d Like To Believe” captures the heaviness of living with depression on a day-to-day basis. Poignant and vulnerable, the song highlights the default of rationalizing one’s state with excuses.

“‘You’d like to believe’ was an evolving song that took on a few different forms through the years until it reached this final arrangement of a slow burning build,” says Sroka. “It’s a song about depression and how it interacts with you everyday. It lends itself to one’s desire of just speaking out and letting someone know that it’s not any of the excuses you’ve listed, it’s just exactly what it is. Usually, I will collaborate on string section ideas with a musician, however I’m particularly proud of this one as the entire string arrangement top to bottom is written by me and performed verbatim to replace the parts in the demo.”

Mirroring the song’s gentle intensity, the accompanying visual is a one-take fixed shot of Sroka one the side of the road on a dreary day.
