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’s 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.”

01. Nobody’s

06. Altitude
07. This Routine
08. Finalist
09. Subversion (Brand New Love) (feat. Lou Barlow)

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.
Alongside the news of the album, Touché Amoré are announcing their 2024 headlining tour in the US kicking off October 9th in LA, which will include support from Soul Glo, Portrayal of Guilt, and Soft Blue Shimmer – check out the dates below.
