Better Lovers announce debut album ‘Highly Irresponsible’

BETTER LOVERS have announced their debut album!

Titled Highly Irresponsible, the upcoming album from the hardcore/mathcore supergroup is their debut full-length album, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via SharpTone Records. The debut album comes on the back of standalone singles The Flowering and Two Alive Amongst The Dead.

Recorded this Spring, Highly Irresponsible benefits from the dual role of Will Putney, who, besides being one of the band’s guitarists, also brings his production skills to the album. Putney explains, “being a member of the band and the producer is actually a real advantage for BETTER LOVERS. We’re so dialed in to exactly what we want to do, and our creative process is so in sync and natural that we rarely hit a wall when we work on music. My role is to capture the energy of the band the way it’s intended to sound: a band firing on all cylinders.”

Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist Jordan Buckley says, “writing and recording our first full-length was slightly more surgical than the EP, but had a similar lack of restraint. I feel more pressure writing this press release than I felt all winter in Will’s studio. I got to wake up everyday and watch the masters perfect their craft. I was a student. It was a playground. Everything was funny. We were reading each other’s minds. Even creating our own language at some points. I didn’t know if I was watching my closest friends write music, or if I was watching music use us to exist. The voice in my head warning me how highly irresponsible it was to hop on this bull again was gone. Replaced by bad ideas, inside jokes, and a rejuvenated love for helping to write songs that don’t sound like anything else. Humans and animals alike are programmed to do wild things for what they love. Highly irresponsible things. And we love what we’ve created. We know you will too.”

Vocalist Greg Puciato adds, “new album. First full-length. It’s a typical thing to say, but we’re excited to start getting this out there. Everyone really brought their best to the album, and brought out the best in each other, and that goes for everyone behind-the-scenes too. I’m honestly just over here happy that I fit the word ‘buddy’ into a song.”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, BETTER LOVERS have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; A White Horse Covered In Blood. Speaking about the new song, Buckley says, “playing and hearing our own music makes us want to run through walls. So we made a video where, while playing and hearing our own music, we run through walls. This ain’t rocket surgery!”
