![]() And with Stage Four, Touché Amoré has unmistakably made the biggest, boldest, and most artistic statement of their career. Cathartic in delivery, highly sentimental, and sonically triumphant, Stage Four is an emblem of a band both living its dream and marred by loss. Stage Four was recorded in early 2016 in Studio City, CA with producer Brad Wood. So when the time came to write Stage Four there was no question that it would be about passing of Bolm's mother in late 2014. It soon jumps into a wall of aggression, with Bolm’s vocals as raw as ever, declaring I’m heartsick and well. A couple years back, Noisey series Sound Offinterviewed the members of Touché Amoré.In addition to discussing burritos and the art of milking, host Andrew Seward (formerly of Against Me) commented that the band’s career was really starting to open up, as they had left behind some of the hardcore shitholes of the early years in favor of more expansive venues. The airy guitar and subdued drums that start this track are no exception. The band’s forte is writing memorable record intros that set the stage for the songs to come. Touché albums have always served as an emotional outlet for Bolm. Stage Four opens with the powerful Flowers and You. "I don't open up to people too much in regular life, but when I'm writing songs, I want to be as open and as honest as possible," Bolm confesses. Having earned early cred, critical favor, and legions of fans by playing lengthy tours of all shapes and sizes„in every basement, youth center, and house show„the band enjoyed a bigger following which only grew along with their talents. Touch_ Amor_ crossed into new territory with the 2013 art-punk masterpiece Is Survived By. Over the years the band rose to prominence with 2009Ís ƒTo the Beat of a Dead Horse and 2011Ís Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me. And now with Stage Four, their fourth and biggest album to date, they are cementing their status as one of rock musicÍs most talented, relatable, and visceral acts. Since those early days, lead singer Jeremy Bolm, guitarists Nick Steinhardt and Clayton Stevens, bassist Tyler Kirby, and drummer Elliot Babin have created a trajectory for themselves through hard work and dedication. ![]() Los Angeles artful indie post hardcore band Touché Amoré have announced a new album, Stage Four, to be released September 16 on Epitaph.įormed in Burbank, California, across 20, the band's urgent sound, with its melodic sonic assault and impassioned vocals, has grown tighter and more refined through a trio of full-length albums and a series of EPÍs and releases. – 4 kiss-cut sticker sheets of album artwork and alternate images – Features a unique collaboration between collage artist Anthony Gerace, photographer Ryan Aylsworth and art director/designer Nick Steinhardt This is limited to 2,500 copies worldwide and it is a one-time pressing. – 180-Gram “Stage Four” 12” vinyl LP with vintage style Epitaph labels. – 36 page, LP-sized hard cover book of expanded artwork
