JULY TALK TOUCH IS OUT TODAY ON ISLAND RECORDS
JULY TALK TOUCH IS OUT TODAY ON ISLAND RECORDS
NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES START THIS MONTH
"They have the...certain ne sais quoi it takes to be goddamn massive, and my money's on them headlining festivals across North America within the next five years." - Consequence of Sound July Talk's sophomore album, Touch , is out today on Island/Universal (US and UK/Europe) and Sleepless Records (Canada.) This is the follow up to their critically acclaimed self-titled debut. The album is available now on iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon, GooglePlay, and streaming on Spotify. The band previously released two tracks from the album, their #1 Alt Radio hit single (in Canada) "Push + Pull" and the dynamically soothing and somber "Strange Habit." The band also released a video for "Push + Pull," which you can view here.
"Thematically, Touch has been inspired by our human experience over the past few years, just as much as our time spent as a band on the road," notes songwriter and vocalist, Leah Fay. "Touring constantly provides a strange view of the world because you're in transit more often than you're still. We became sensitive to the varying reactions we'd get from any given audience depending on the cultural norms and politics of a place. Because humans love to categorize in an effort to understand, Peter and I were often perceived as these opposing forces, representing "light vs. darkness", "female vs. male", "sweet vs. scary" blah blah blah, with each of us just dying to get a word in edgewise. These types of assumptions had a massive influence on the way we wrote the lyrics for this album because we knew we didn't want to feed into that sort of boring archetype. We became drawn to the idea of what it actually means to be a living breathing human. It's messy and visceral and unpredictable." Full track listing is below.
