Torche announce new album 'Admission' & tour, share "Slide"
Melodic sludge greats Torche spilled the beans about their anticipated new album earlier this year, and now it’s officially announced. It’s called Admission, and due July 12 via Relapse (pre-order). “This album is more revealing of who we are. I think the core of the band is happier and more inspired than we have been in some time, and we’ve got somebody new who’s excited to be a part of it. It’s just refreshing. It feels right. It feels real,” says guitarist/producer Jon Nuñez, referring to new bass player Eric Hernandez of Wrong. Eric wrote the lead single, “Slide,” which fits right in with Torche’s usual vibe, and is a very promising taste of this new LP. Listen below.
Torche are playing Levitation, The Fest, Sled Island, and a few other festivals, and they’ve also announced a headlining tour.
The tour includes a NYC show on August 2 at Brooklyn Bazaar. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (5/17) at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.
Earlier this year, we included Torche’s cover of “In Bloom” in a list of 15 great covers of Nirvana songs and Torche’s Harmonicraft in a list of 10 albums from this decade that ’90s grunge fans need to hear.
