Canadian pillars of post-punk Preoccupations have announced plans for their fourth full-length album Arrangements. It will arrive on September 9 through their own newly created label.
Lead single "Ricochet" gives us our first glimpse at the album, whose lyrics are "pretty conspicuous and self-explanatory," according to songwriter Matthew Flegel, who explained further in a release, "it's basically about the world blowing up and no one giving a shit."
The band are hitting the road this fall in support of the new album. They've lined up performances in Calgary, Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto through October and November.
