Singer-songwriter Ace Enders has released his introspective new single, “Wide Awake.” The track is the latest to be taken from his upcoming album, Posture Syndrome, which is set to be released on October 31st, 2025, via Pure Noise Records.
The new single reflects on dark, sleepless nights that eventually lead to a newfound clarity. Enders recalls the inspiration behind the track: “This song begins with sleepless nights—lying awake, restless, and anxious. I started to drink a lot heavier at this point in my life, not proud of it, but I guess needed it to write this. The lyric ‘replacing windows with bars’ pretty much sums it up.”
He continues, explaining the song’s turning point. “As it unfolds, it shifts. Slowly, the darkness makes way for light, and the anxiety becomes anticipation. By the end, it’s no longer about being trapped by thoughts but about waking up wide awake with something to look forward to.”
For over two decades, Ace Enders has been a significant creative force in the alternative rock scene, known primarily as the main songwriter for The Early November. Seeking a different creative outlet for his more experimental ideas, he began a solo project, initially known as I Can Make A Mess. Now releasing music under his own name, Enders has recorded seven full-length albums, with his music featured in film trailers and his live shows taking him across the country.
