Austin punks Die Spitz have announced a new album, Something to Consume, due out on September 12 via Third Man Records. They’re calling it their formal debut LP (it follows their 2022 EP The Revenge of Evangeline and 2023’s Teeth), and it was produced by Will Yip. The band say, “Whether you’re craving a smack of lively metal or a melancholy wave of grungey violin, there’s a piece of all of us injected. Something to Consume is a call to the multitudes of ways we as humans allow consumption to enrapture our culture as well as ourselves.” See the cover art and tracklist before.
The first single is “Throw Yourself to the Sword,” which the band’s Ellie Livingston calls “a high-energy ode to what we want young people to feel. There’s a lot of existentialism and despair in other songs on the album that still sheath the same theme, but ‘Throw Yourself to the Sword’ is the raise of optimism. Despite living in a state of mundanity or hopelessness, you can still rise up and fight the unknown, as long as you’re willing to throw yourself to it.” Watch the video, directed by Emily Sanchez, below.
Die Spitz also announced a fall North American tour, beginning with Atlanta’s Shaky Knees and wrapping up in Nashville on November 22. There’s no NYC show at the moment, but you can see all dates below.
