Lurk announce new EP ‘Natural Causes’
LURK have announced a new EP!
Titled Natural Causes, the upcoming EP from the Chicago-based punk band is the follow-up to 2021’s Around The Sun, and is scheduled to be released later this month, via Pure Noise Records.
Speaking about the upcoming EP, the band says, “we couldn’t be more proud of this EP as a whole. I truly think it’s the best thing we’ve ever done from the songs to the lyrics to the artwork. The songs are raw and full of energy yet remain catchy and full of hooks which is really the goal of our songwriting. We really focused on the kind of production we were after and the vibe we wanted to create with this release which resulted in some more raw sounds and darker themes. I think on Natural Causes we were able to balance everything we’re about while calling back to some of the things that influenced us to start this band.”
Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released a new song lifted from the upcoming EP; Dark Humor. Speaking about the new song, the band says, “this song is about how toxic of a place the internet can be. It can be addicting yet so terrible for your mental health. People act as if they’re shielded from reality when they engage with others on social media but forget that they are talking with real people and that there are real consequences for words. At the same time, there’s this hive mind mentality where people encourage or influence each other to keep that behavior going. Oftentimes what might start out with someone seeking justice and perhaps being in the right, will turn into that person being just as wrong. It’s cop behavior.”
