cleopatrick announce new album ‘Fake Moon’

CLEOPATRICK have announced a new album!

Titled Fake Moon, the upcoming album from the Canadian rock band is the follow-up to 2021’s Bummer, and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via their own label Nowhere Special Recordings.

Working with producer Philip Weinrobe [ADRIANNE LENKER, HAND HABITS, TOMBERLIN] and respected guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Mike Haldeman at Weinrobe’s Brooklyn studio, the sessions for Fake Moon mark the first time the band expanded their existing creative bubble, intending to help to drive the growth in their sonic palette and songwriting.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, CLEOPATRICK have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming new album; Please.

Speaking about the new song, and its accompanying music video, vocalist/guitarist Luke Gruntz shares, “Please is about the implicit forces that pull us to belong. It’s about the comforting and consuming magnetism of the collective. It’s kind of a love song. An acknowledgement and acceptance of something fundamental.

There’s a gradual surrender and slow unraveling in the recording — like the sound itself is subject to the same cosmic pull I’m singing about. By the end of the track, all the instruments are being torn apart digitally. Phil (Weinrobe) had almost the entire mix running through an old Roland 303 sampler that mangled the audio into this beautiful, slushy mess of missing information and usurped data. and so the concept loops back on itself eternally.

I like to call this sound ‘LAPTOP ROCK’. The video was shot by our friend and longtime collaborator Ryan Faist AKA boywonder. We wanted the video to look like a scene from a movie, more than a music video. The video shows a young guy experiencing the pull of the collective.”
