Froth announce new LP (listen to "Laurel"), touring w/ Black Marble and Versing

Los Angeles band Froth are set to release their fourth album, Duress, which will be out June 7 via Wichita. The first single is “Laurel,” a sludgy piece of dreampop that centers around one of 2018’s biggest controversies. “This song is about a guy who listened to the Yanny/Laurel thing and he can only hear Laurel,” say the band. “He’s really passionate about Laurel being the correct pronunciation to the point where he will die before admitting otherwise. In the end, he reveals that he loves his girlfriend more than he loves the correct pronunciation of ‘Laurel/Yanny.'” We’ve got the premiere of the “Laurel” video which was directed by Courtney Garvin of The Courtneys and you can watch that below.

Froth will be on tour later this year, including runs with Black Marble and Versing. The NYC show happens at Elsewhere’s Rooftop on July 3 with Versing and a DJ set from A Place to Bury Strangers (tickets). All tour dates are listed below.
