It comes two years after the release of their ARIA-nominated, Top 10 debut, The Mortal Coil, and days after the release of their new single Masochist.
“We wanted to walk a line between maintaining what’s defined our band and brought people to our music in the first place, while trying to write for ourselves and keep ourselves interested,” says drummer Daniel Furnari, one of the group’s main songwriters. “Being our second full-length, we knew it was important for us to surprise the listener as well–nobody wants to hear the same record twice. We wanted to give them things they wouldn’t expect, take them to new places, but also for it to be definitively a Polaris record, building on what we’ve been working towards.”
The band will take the album on the road next February, supported by Wage War (USA), Crystal Lake (Japan) and Alpha Wolf, they will also appearance at Unify Gathering.
“We’ve experienced more of the world and gone out of our comfort zone, and I think that’s audible in the music,” says Furnari. “I think a lot of things people enjoyed about The Mortal Coil we’ve managed to retain, but we’ve stretched the envelope further in every direction of what we consider to be our sound. I just don’t think we could have thought of most of this stuff two years ago.”
The Death of Me will be available for pre-order on Friday, November 15 at 9am AEDT time. It was co-produced by front of house sound engineer, Lance Prenc and Scott Simpson (Alpha Wolf).
