Toronto-based garage rock quintet Invasions released their debut LP, Cult of the Half Moon, back in 2012. But a little over a year later, the band are back with a re-invigorated "surf western"-inspired sound. See if their stylistic transformation paid off by listening to their self-titled sophomore set in full ahead of its October 25 release.
Picking up where their Libertines-esque debut left off, Invasions finds the band delivering Dire Straits riffing ("Cursed Comfort"), spastic surf rock ("Born on a Wave"), and Bob Dylan-meets-Johnny Marr songwriting ("Alive [Loving Life]").
Hear for yourself by listening to the eight-track LP in the player below. And if you feel so inclined, check out the band this fall as they tour in support of the album through Ontario and Quebec.
Tour dates:
10/24 Kitchener, ON - Maxwell Music House
10/25 Toronto, ON - Brockton Collective Album Release
10/27 Kingston, ON - Mansion House
10/28 Toronto, ON - Private Party
