Scowl have announced their new album 'Are We All Angels' for April

Scowl have announced their new album 'Are We All Angels', set for release via Dead Oceans on 4th April.

The Santa Cruz hardcore band's latest effort, produced by Will Yip (known for his work with Turnstile and Mannequin Pussy) and mixed by Rich Costey, marks their debut release for the label. The band have also shared the album's lead single 'Not Hell, Not Heaven', accompanied by a Sean Stout-directed video filmed at 924 Gilman in Berkeley.

Speaking about the new track, vocalist Kat Moss explains: "It's about feeling victimized and being a victim, but not wanting to identify with being a victim. It's trying to find grace in the fact that I have my power. I live in my reality. You have to deal with whatever you're dealing with, and it ain't working for me."

The album sees the band exploring new sonic territories while maintaining their hardcore roots. "The majority of us were really not proficient musicians when this band started," Moss says. "It was very Germs-esque in that way, like baby's first hardcore band, which is awesome. But now, we still might not know what we're doing, but we have a better idea of what we want to do."
