Bismuth announce new album ‘The Slow Dying of the Great Barrier Reef’

BISMUTH have announced a new album!

The new album, titled The Slow Dying of the Great Barrier Reef, is the upcoming effort from the Nottingham-based duo and is scheduled to be released in November this year.

Outside of the band, bassist/vocalist Tanya Byrne is a volcanologist with a passion for envrionmental science. Speaking about that link to their upcoming record, she explains, “the current political discourse on how to reduce our impact on ecosystems is stuck in semantics, all while these systems degrade. I believe we can reduce our impact, and I am hopeful that solutions will be found. However, many of these solutions are halted, while governments argue over who is to blame. The album title makes reference to the fact that climate change is affecting this habitat extremely, and inaction is one of the biggest causes of it’s decline.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, you can view both the track list and artwork for the upcoming record. Both of which are available to view below:

Track List:

1. The Slow Dying of the Great Barrier Reef
2. Weltschmerz

The Slow Dying of the Great Barrier Reef is set for release on November 2nd via a collaboration between four independent labels; Dry Cough (UK), Rope or Guillotine (NL), Medusa Crush (CA), and Tartarus Records (NL).
