Guerilla Toss announce new album, Famously Alive
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 18 January 2022
Guerilla Toss have announced that they have signed to Sub Pop to release new album ‘Famously Alive’ in March. The band’s first LP since 2018, the first taste of it comes in the form of new single ‘Cannibal Capital’.
On the writing of the album, vocalist Kassie Carlson says: “You have to be with yourself all the time during the pandemic. I had to figure out a way to manage my anxiety. The pandemic was hard, but it helped me get comfortable inside my own body. My peace of mind came out of being thrust into the deepest shit”.
“It felt like I didn’t need to force myself into this dark place to create anymore”, she goes on. “For the first time in my life, I feel like I’m finally comfortable inside my body. This album is all about being happy, being alive, strength. It’s meant to inspire people”.
As for the musical direction of the album, multi-instrumentalist Peter Negroponte adds: “I like to combine as many musical influences as possible. We thought the sleekness of current radio pop would make our dense wall-of-sound aesthetic both more bizarre and more accessible and fun at the same time”.
‘Famously Alive’ is out on 25 Mar. Watch the video for ‘Cannibal Capital’ here:
