They Are Gutting a Body of Water have announced a new album, LOTTO, which will be out October 17 via Julia’s War / Smoking Room / ATO. As opposed to previous albums which were more digitally manipulated, Doug Dulgarian made it as a full-band record with bassist Emily Lofing, guitarist PJ Carroll, and drummer Ben Opatut.
“In a world of perpetually increasing artifice, this record is my attempt to surface through the sea of false muck,” says Dulgarian. “It’s rife with perceivable mistakes, ebbing and flowing with the most humanity I can place on one record. The more I utilized [technology], the softer I got. I return again and again to that world because it’s more comfortable than my physical body. The dopamine flooding my brain. And in moments of clarity, I am often very aware that we’re currently watching the homogenization of art right before our very eyes. I am afraid that technology and convenience will cure the world of life.”
The album includes recent single “american food” and they’ve just shared “trainers.” Watch the video for that below.
TAGABOW will also be on tour this fall, and play NYC’s Bowery Ballroom on December 11 with Hooky and Warmachine. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 18 at 10 AM local time.
This weekend the band will play the Julia’s War Fest in Philly with MSPAINT, Draag, Chanel Beads and more. All dates are below.
