Sunny Day Real Estate reunited in 2022 to embark on their first tour in 12 years, which they brought through to Toronto last spring. The Seattle emo legends haven't released an album for 24 years, but they certainly seem to be teasing some new music.
The band took to Instagram today to post a teaser clip, featuring a time-lapse drawing of a tugboat and the latin phrase "novum vetus," which translates to "new old" if we're to believe Google Translate.
It is, of course, accompanied by some (mostly instrumental) audio, until frontperson Jeremy Enigk's unmistakable voice breaks through to sing something that begins along the lines of, "10,000 words collide / But no one said a thing."
Sunny Day Real Estate released their last album, The Rising Tide, in 2000. A prior late-aughts reunion resulted in an earlier attempt at a follow-up that ended up getting abandoned, save for the song "Lipton Witch," released in 2014 as a standalone single.
In 2018, SDRE drummer William Goldsmith claimed that an album of the band's was being blocked from release by Dave Grohl. (At the time, former SDRE/current Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel told Exclaim! that there was no truth to Goldsmith's claims.)
Check out the teaser below.
