Preoccupations are back with "Espionage", the first song from upcoming record New Material

16 January 2018, 16:26 | Written by Laurence Day

Canadian post-punks Preoccupations have announced new record New Material and shared storming lead single "Espionage".

The record is Preoccupations' second (following 2016's self-titled offering) but technically their third if you count the 2015 album as Viet Cong. It was self-recorded with Justin Meldal-Johnson (M83, Wolf Alice) mixing the results.

"It’s an ode to depression," says the band’s Matt Flegel. "To depression and self-sabotage, and looking inward at yourself with extreme hatred."

Preoccupations have a bunch of North American and European tour dates booked for spring and summer, including shows in London, Ramsgate, and Leeds in June. Find out more.

Tracklist:

  1. Espionage
  2. Decompose
  3. Disaray
  4. Manipulation
  5. Antidote
  6. Solace
  7. Doubt
  8. Compliance
New Material is out 23 March via Jagjaguwar.
