Touché Amoré släpper ny split-EP med Self Defense Family

Skivbolagskollegorna i EP-samarbete.

Sverigeaktuella Touché Amoré släppte förra året superhyllade Is Survived By, vilken nu verkar följas upp av en ny split-EP från bandet. Det råder visserligen oklarheter huruvida vi ens ska titulera given som en split, då bandets samarbete med Self Defense Family verkar ha resulterat i tre gemensamma låtar. Touché Amoré har flera gånger tidigare släppt material av nämnda slag – för några år sedan tillsammans med La Dispute och nu senast förra året en suverän tvåspårs-EP med Pianos Become the Teeth – och Deathwish-kollegorna Self Defense Family är än mer erfarna på det området. Producerar gör Will Yip.

Touché Amorés Jeremy Bolm säger bland annat följande kring projektet i en ny intervju:

”Everybody came to our practice space and we have five guitars, two drum sets, two bass, and then wrote a song and then came back here. We had a day off between Toronto and New York so we drove overnight to Will’s studio.  We were thinking “Who’s a producer on the East Coast that’d be cool to work with that neither of us had worked with?” and Will’s a friend so I called him or I texted him and was like “Hey are you available?” and he was like “Dude, I’ll drop what I’m doing that day. Let’s do it.” So we drove over there, met up with him, wrote two more songs on the spot, and then recorded the one we had previously written.  So, we recorded three songs.  Pat and I still have to do vocals for the other two that we wrote that day but don’t know when it’s gonna come out, don’t really know any further details but yeah, it’s fun.”
