La Dispute have shared a new eight-minute song, 'Environmental Catastrophe Film'
Post-hardcore band La Dispute release lengthy new track as second act from upcoming album 'No One Was Driving the Car'.
La Dispute have shared 'Environmental Catastrophe Film', the second act from their upcoming album 'No One Was Driving the Car'.
The eight-minute track follows Act One of the album, which comprised three songs: 'I Shaved My Head', 'Man with Hands and Ankles Bound' and 'Autofiction Detail'. The new album, set for release on 5th September via Epitaph Records, marks the band's first new material in six years.
Vocalist Jordan Dreyer explains that the new track forms the thematic centre of the record: "The second act—more or less the thematic centre of the record—is a single song split into three parts. It begins with a boy beside a creek-bed in a wooded area near home, holding a snapping turtle above the flowing water, before tracing its winding path to the river around which the city was first built, and through a brief history of the city itself—its settlement, the creation of the christian reformed church, and the furniture industry that dominated its early economic growth."
The self-produced album explores themes of technological advancement and environmental concerns, with the title inspired by a police officer's quote regarding a lethal self-driving Tesla crash.
