Thotcrime announce new album ‘Connection Anxiety’
THOTCRIME have announced a new album!
Titled Connection Anxiety, the upcoming album from the multinational cybergrind band is the follow-up to 2022’s D1G1T4L_DR1FT, and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Prosthetic Records.
Speaking about the upcoming album, producer Les Beaux Plastiques says, “when we started working on a follow up to D1G1T4L_DR1FT, we decided that we wanted to explore our favourite aspects from our past while exploring more of where we were at the time. All the guitars are real, all the drums were written by our drummer, the mixing and production has taken a big step up, and there’s a lot more 90s and 00s rave elements, to inform a more unified direction, while still maintaining the THOTCRIME ethos of chaos and genrefluidity.”
Vocalist Hayley Elizabeth adds, “Connection Anxiety is a lot of things. This record feels like a proclamation that we’re holding out for hope. I hope the record is as fun as it is proactive. I hope that our third entry solidifies our existence in a world that is constantly changing. I also hope that our fans listening to this record resonate with it’s message: ‘a better world is possible, and it’s okay that change happens even if it’s scary’.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for two new songs lifted from the upcoming album; The Wrong Way and Behind The Cracks.
