Twin Atlantic have announced a brand-new album, Meltdown.
Set to arrive via their own label Staple Diet on August 9 digitally
and September 13 on physical formats, the record will include previously
released singles Asleep and Stuck In A Car With You, plus newbie World Class
Entertainment (check that out below).
Frontman Sam McTrusty reveals of Meltdown and its creation, “Over
the last 18 months we have been relentlessly obsessing over the making of a new
album. We built two studios to have our own freedom and space to dig deeper
into the essence of our band. That freedom evolved into engineering and
producing the album ourselves. Zero outside influences. What we’ve got in the
end is something we are so proud of and feels like our best work yet.
“The time felt right to revisit our roots and dive back into the
big choruses and massive guitars that shaped our band’s early years, but
obviously having lived life and toured the world since then we found an
evolution of that sound.”
Speaking about latest single World Class Entertainment, the
singer/guitarist continues: “Sometimes during the making of an album, I can’t
help but make fun of the whole thing. The day we wrote World Class
Entertainment we set out to do just that. Turn everything up to 11, make every
lyric sarcastic and opinionated. There’s a massive trend in the culture of
excess and judgement, and that’s how this angsty fun flashing neon sign of a
song was born. It’s great to be back kicking heads in with riffs. Let’s go!”
