Touché Amoré release new album ‘Spiral In a Straight Line’

Touché Amoré released their sixth album ‘Spiral in a Straight Line’ via Rise Records. The album includes the band’s previously released singles ‘Nobody’s’ and ‘Hal Ashby,’ the latter of which was accompanied by a surreal music video directed by Sean Stout and inspired by the song’s namesake director, known for his tragically misunderstood characters.

‘Spiral in a Straight Line’ sees the band reuniting with renowned producer Ross Robinson (KoRn, Slipknot, Glassjaw, At The Drive-In etc.) with whom they previously collaborated on their critically acclaimed album ‘Lament’, which was awarded ‘Best New Album’ by Pitchfork. The result is an incredibly poignant sixth album that mines deeper into the complexities of the band’s emotional core, while also widening the scope to embrace the universally understood experience of grappling with life-altering changes.
Earlier this week, the band kicked off their North American tour with a hometown show in LA at The Regent and screened a short film documentary on the making of their new album directed by Sean Stout.
 

With exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, the visual highlights Touché’s appreciation for different mediums of storytelling, while also providing context to the album’s core themes of lingering pain, memories, and resilience. Each member of the band – principal lyricist Jeremy Bolm, guitarists Nick Steinhardt and Clayton Stevens, bassist Tyler Kirby, and drummer Elliot Babin – provides insights on their unique experiences making the record and the significance of ‘Spiral In A Straight Line’.

Just this week, Touché Amoré launched their 2024 headlining tour with support from Soul Glo, Portrayal of Guilt and Soft Blue Shimmer.
