PICTURESQUE have announced a new album!

Titled Do You Feel O.K?, the upcoming album from the Kentucky-based rock band is their sophomore effort and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Rude Records/Equal Vision Records.

The upcoming album follows 2017’s Back To Beautiful and whilst their distinctive musical approach remains, as vocalist Kyle Hollis outlines, there’s much about this album that’s very different to what’s come before. “The first record was our take on 2009 post-hardcore, whereas this album is something new, and it’s a style of music I’ve not heard anyone else make. Approaching Do You Feel O.K?, we reached a point where we just thought, ‘Fuck it, we’re not going to box ourselves in––we’re going to focus on writing killer songs, no matter what they sound like.’ You can hear that attitude throughout the record.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; titled ATTN. Speaking about the new song, the band says, “we write a lot of sad songs, but we wanted this one to be different. It’s a song where Kyle is in control of the narrative. We wanted it to have a strong groove and to make it as catchy as possible. We experimented with a lot of different sounds on this song and finally convinced Dylan to lay down an epic solo. We are just trying to push the boundaries of what PICTURESQUE can be. Our writing sessions have no rules and we wanted to show that side of us. This song is carefree, fun, and a side we don’t normally show.”
