Touché Amoré announces their first new album in 4 years, Spiral in a Straight Line, set for release October 11th. The announcement coincides with the release of the band’s new single and first piece of the visual album “Nobody’s,” its first official release following their signing to the renowned Rise Records. Recorded with legendary producer Ross Robinson (KoRn, Slipknot, Glassjaw, At The Drive-In etc), Spiral In A Straight Line features collaborations with Julien Baker (of boygenius) and the legendary Lou Barlow (Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, The Folk Implosion).

Speaking about “Nobody’s,” Touché Amoré frontman Jeremy Bolm shares: “’Nobody’s’ is the opening track on our upcoming album Spiral In A Straight Line. In just a handful of lyrics, it gives the broad strokes of the album. A song and record about forward movement while everything around you becomes destabilized.”

The new song is a rousing statement of intent from the LA-based band, rooted in life-altering changes and the turmoil of moving forward while grappling with what’s been left behind. Returning to work with famed producer Ross Robinson for the second time following their critically acclaimed 2020 album Lament, which was awarded Best New Album by Pitchfork, Spiral In A Straight Line challenges the band to dig deep again. As a result, they return with a poignant body of work that captures a distinctly universal feeling – spiraling – and getting caught in the emotional debris of the words, emotions, memories and pain that are left after things are flipped upside down and how one keeps pushing through.
