Remo Drive announce new album ‘A Portrait Of An Ugly Man’

REMO DRIVE have announced a new album!

Titled A Portrait Of An Ugly Man, the upcoming album from the band is their third full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Epitaph Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist/guitarist Erik Paulson says, “I wanted to get back to playing guitar the way I used to, and then throw songwriting on top of that. On the last album, I approached playing guitar in a more songwriter-y way. I had really scaled it back so it wouldn’t be as hard for me to sing and play simultaneously, but the guitar is way more forward again now.”

The loathsomeness Paulson explores on the album certainly reflect less glamorous aspects of both his psyche and that of others, but when they’re cut with his quick wit and self-deprecation, they seem less like an actual indictment and more of an embrace of all of life’s imperfection and absurdity. “I was bumming myself out by trying to be more serious than I actually am,” Erik admits. “On this album, I wanted to write stuff that still communicated real ideas but had a bit of lighthearted, fun energy to it.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song to be lifted from the upcoming album; titled Star Worship.
