Sam Cook-Parrott has announced his sixth album as Radiator Hospital, which is titled Distorting Time and will be out August 14 via Lame-O Records. It’s his first for the label.
“I was strongly considering going in a completely different direction and starting a different-sounding project,” Sam says. “Instead a switch flipped and I could see how all my new ideas could fit on the continuum of Radiator Hospital. It’s still the project I’ve been doing for almost half my life. I can see the connection between this and my earliest work, while also knowing I never could have made this record in any other time of my life than now.”
The first single from the album is “Wall Between Us” which is another patented Radiator Hospital lo-fi gem. You can watch the video below.
Radiator Hospital will be on tour this summer and fall, including runs with Smoking Popes, Dusk, and Noun. The dates with Smoking Popes include two shows at NYC’s TV Eye on July 25 & 26. All dates are listed below.
