Alexisonfire has announced their new album Otherness will release on June 24th through Dine Alone Records. The first single for the album “Sweet Dreams Of Otherness” has been released with a music video, which you can find below. The album marks the band’s first full-length album in 13 years.
Vocalist George Pettit offered the following on the new song:
“This song was largely Dallas‘ brain child, but over the course of writing this record, it became more of a mission statement for the band. It’s kind of about performance and embracing a new found confidence in a state of peculiarity.”
Guitarist/vocalist Wade MacNeil offered the following on the album itself:
“The biggest difference is the space we are all in. We were all really thrilled to make a record, and it was such a respite from what was going on in the world. It felt like life could be beautiful. We were supportive of one another. Everyone was in such a good mood. It was such a treat to be able to do it again.”
Pettit added:
“As much as we love playing the old songs, we don’t want to be a nostalgia act. The only reason to come back is if we feel we still have something to say. We spent so much time on the road thinking that if we stopped, people would lose interest. But when we went away, it only got bigger. We all carved new paths for ourselves, so coming back to Alexisonfire is a purely enjoyable creative venture. Something special happens when we get in a room together.”
