On Sale @ Paradise and Brighton Music Hall: Touché Amoré, Surfer Girl, and more
There was a lot to Lament about 2020, but it’s time to move on — for me, you, and Touché Amoré. The Los Angeles post-hardcore band returns this fall with their first new album and tour in four years, unleashing Spiral in a Straight Line in October via Rise Records and crashing Boston’s Paradise Rock Club on November 3. The new record was produced by Ross Robinson and features guests like Boygenius’ Julien Baker and Lou Barlow of Dinosaur Jr. The first lethal dose of sonic architecture arrives in “Nobody’s,” a firely lead single that sets an immediate tone. “‘Nobody’s’ is the opening track on our upcoming album, Spiral in a Straight Line. In just a handful of lyrics, it gives the broad strokes of the album,” offers up Touché Amoré vocalist Jeremy Bolm. “A song and record about forward movement while everything around you becomes destabilized.” Sounds like 2024. Tickets go on sale Friday (July 26) at 10 a.m. local time.
