Just over one year on from the release of their debut EP God Made Me An Animal, Better Lovers have announced details of their first-ever full-length.
The hardcore supergroup – Jordan Buckley, Clayton ‘Goose’ Holyoak, Stephen Micciche, Greg Puciato and Will Putney – will release the excellently-titled Highly Irresponsible on October 25 via SharpTone, and unsurprisingly, they promise the absolute “best” from it…
“New album. First full-length,” says Greg. “It’s a typical thing to say, but we’re excited to start getting this out there. Everyone really brought their best to the album, and brought out the best in each other, and that goes for everyone behind-the-scenes too. I’m honestly just over here happy that I fit the word ‘buddy’ into a song.”
“Writing and recording our first full length was slightly more surgical than the EP, but had a similar lack of restraint,” explains Jordan. “I feel more pressure writing this press release than I felt all winter in Will’s studio. I got to wake up every day and watch the masters perfect their craft. I was a student. It was a playground. Everything was funny. We were reading each other’s minds. Even creating our own language at some points. I didn’t know if I was watching my closest friends write music, or if I was watching music use us to exist.
“The voice in my head warning me how highly irresponsible it was to hop on this bull again was gone. Replaced by bad ideas, inside jokes, and a rejuvenated love for helping to write songs that don’t sound like anything else. Humans and animals alike are programmed to do wild things for what they love. Highly irresponsible things. And we love what we’ve created. We know you will too.”
To mark the announcement of Highly Irresponsible, Better Lovers have also shared brilliant new single A White Horse Covered In Blood – watch the video below:
