Posting cryptic messages on the internet over the last few months, late night drive home finally clued listeners into what they were concocting. On June 27, the band will release their debut body of work via Epitaph. A criticism of their adolescence always existing in the shadow of the internet, the 13-track offering codes together vignettes of mistaking online connection for something real. With their success outgrowing the bedrooms they used to create in, late night drive home’s debut album is the first time they’ve worked in proper studios. And with this growth, we see them move from the indie-rock bucket to a more expansive, electronic realm — Pre-save. “Over-exposed and over-stimulated, desensitized to what is real and what is fabricated, desensitized to the simple things,” flows off lead singer Andre Portillo’s tongue about the forthcoming album. “This constant need for more of you has become a Pandora’s box in this modern age. I’m obsessed, you mean so much to me and without you, I would be staring at a different reflection in the mirror. You’ve made me. You’ve destroyed me. I sometimes wonder why I can’t live without you.” UPCOMING TOUR DATES July 16 – Austin, TX – Antone’s* July 18 – San Antonio, TX – Paper Tiger* July 19 – Houston, TX – Bronze Peacock* July 20 – Dallas, TX – Cambridge Room* July 22 – Atlanta, GA – Masquerade (Hell)* July 23 – Durham, NC – Motorco* July 25 – Washington, DC – Pearl Street* July 26 – New York, NY – Bowery Ballroom* July 27 – Boston, MA – Brighton Music Hall* July 29 – Detroit, MI – El Club* July 30 – Milwaukee, WI – Vivarium* August 2 – Denver, CO – Bluebird Theater* August 3 – Salt Lake City, UT – Soundwell* August 5 – Seattle, WA – Neumos* August 6 – Portland, OR – Hawthorne Theatre* August 8 – Santa Cruz, CA – The Catalyst* August 9 – Los Angeles, CA – The Fonda* August 10 – San Diego, CA – Quartyard* August 12 – Las Vegas, NV – 24 Oxford* August 13 – Phoenix, AZ – Crescent Ballroom* August 14 – Albuquerque, NM – Backstage at Revel* August 16 – El Paso, TX – Lowbrow Palace* *support from ALEXSUCKS All tour info here |
