Toronto's notably noisy post-punks Gloin are back with the announcement of their sophomore full-length, previewed today by the new single "controlfreak69."
All of your anger is actually shame (and I bet that makes you angry) arrives on March 28 via Mothland. The follow-up to the band's 2022 debut We Found This was recorded between Palace Sound and Wychwood Sound with Dylan Frankland.
"We wrote the whole album as a collective, influenced by shared experiences," Gloin shared in a statement. "Half was written electronically with usually one person bringing in ideas that we all elaborated on together. We jammed a lot, finding things we liked that we later pieced together, while also saving pieces that we might be able to plug into a future song. One method for a few of the songs was for all of us to write a complete piece, and then switch up instruments."
Inspired by Gregory Crewdson's photography, the artwork — which "depicts the middle of nowhere, evoking feelings of sadness that are hard to describe" — was shot and edited by Ryan Faist (a.k.a. Boy Wonder), who also directed the "controlfreak69" video.
