Los Angeles-based alt-rock duo Loveless have announced their third studio album, previewed today by new single "Heart-Shaped Soul." They'll also be supporting the record on a North American headline tour this fall, which is set to include a lone Canadian gig in Toronto.
Loveless II is due September 13 on Rise Records. It follows the band's 2022 release, End of an era, and 2021's Loveless I, and features collaboration with "abcdefu" singer GAYLE.
"We put everything into this record, and I am so grateful it's finally coming out," said Julian Comeau. "Loveless has always been a deeply personal project, but we got to work with some amazing collaborators this time to really bring out our best both instrumentally and lyrically. We assembled the dream team and it's been an absolute joy to hear Loveless in a way that's never been heard before, and I can't wait to share it with everyone."
Of the new single, he added, "'Heart-Shaped Soul' was the first track we did with our friends Zach Jones, KJ Strock, and KANNER. It came together so naturally, we knew there was lightning in a bottle immediately. We are so immensely proud of this one, it's got all of my favourite aspects of a Loveless song tied in a neat little bow. I've never really [sung] like this on an original song, and I still get excited every time I hear it and think about the magic we felt in the studio."
