Fucked Up released their great new album One Day on Merge Records last year, and now they’ve revealed that they’re quickly following it with Another Day on August 9 via their own Fucked Up Records (pre-order). A press release says it’s their shortest album ever, recorded just a few months after One Day, and “in a thematic sense lyrically, the two albums are absolutely connected in a purposefully contextual and rather brilliant narrative alignment.” It was primarily engineered and mixed by Alex Gamble and produced by band member Mike Haliechuk, and it features guest vocals from Sam Bielanski, Pretty Matty, Charlie Manning Walker, Holden Abraham, D. Franklan, and Danko Jones.
The first single is “Stimming,” an instantly-satisfying Fucked Up anthem with a video that the band says this about: “In making the video for stimming we tried to depict the transcendence of music from within our bodies outward to physical action” the band explain. “Stimming is self-soothing behaviour through repetition, and in the context of music and our band, we overcome, calm, and manifest the best of ourselves through these specific, finely tuned physical movements which create a freeing joyous place from which to bring new ideas into the world.” Check it out below.
Fucked Up also have tour dates coming up, including opening OFF!‘s NYC farewell show on July 19 at Le Poisson Rouge. All dates are listed below.
