The Menzingers Announce New Album 'Hello Exile'

Hear the record's first single "Anna"

BY Calum SlingerlandPublished Jul 15, 2019

Two years removed from sharing their After the Party LP, the Menzingers have readied a follow-up effort. Titled Hello Exile, the latest from the Philadelphia-via-Scranton outfit arrives October 4 through Epitaph.

Twelve tracks in length, the album finds the Menzingers teaming up once again with producer Will Yip (Title Fight, Code Orange), recording the effort at his Conshohocken, PA-based Studio 4 over six weeks.

"That's the longest amount of time we've ever worked with Will," vocalist Greg Barnett said in a press release. "We wanted to make sure these stories didn't get lost in the music, so we kept it to a lot of room sounds with the guitar and bass and drums."

Alongside the announcement, the band have shared first single "Anna," which comes accompanied by a video. They've also shared a new run of tour dates for the fall, including a December 1 date in Toronto alongside Tigers Jaw and Culture Abuse.

The Menzingers will also play '77 Montreal later this month, as well as a date in London, ON.

Hello Exile is available for pre-order.
