volcano! are currently polishing off their second album it readiment for its release this summer.
The band aim to get Paperwork completed for as-yet-unspecific ‘late summer’ issue, the follow-up to the DiS-adored Beauiful Seizure containing the following tracks:
‘Performance Evaluation Shuffle’ ‘Africa Just Wants to Have Fun’ ‘Tension Loop’ ‘Fairy Tale’ ‘Slow Jam’ ‘’78 Oil Crisis’ ‘Sweet Tooth’ ‘Astronomer’s Ballad’ ‘-----‘ ‘Palimpsests’ ‘Kitchen Dance’
“These songs are pretty diverse and from a musical standpoint are mainly inspired by a sudden irresistible urge to write tighter beats and melodies and more economical songs,” guitarist/vocalist Aaron With told DiS.
“Lyrically, about half the songs are related to issues in the workplace: the common experience of entering a job with some amount of idealism and naivety, the process of disillusionment that often follows and the coming to terms with reality & making the best of things… a sort of coming of age tale.”
We know what he means.
volcano! Are planning to tour in North America and Europe later this year – more news when we get it.
