The 9-song album marks a new direction for the octet as they strip away much of the sonic ornamentation they've come to be known for in favor of a more raw, direct sound reflective of Ellis Ludwig-Leone's candid, plainspoken lyrics. The band will kick off their US album release tour at Treefort Music Fest in March.

The radio single arrives with an official video co-directed by bandleader Ellis Ludwig-Leone and Matthew Slotkin, which began from a conversation between the two friends about discomfort regarding AI's role in art. The end result features Ludwig-Leone entering the uncanny valley, where his first official press photo morphs into 37 avatars.
