Sonagi (Closer) announce debut LP for Get Better, share "Ambivalence"
One of 2020’s best screamo releases was The Cold Promise of Uncertainty, a four-way split that features Coma Regalia, Indisposed, Obroa-skai, and the first-ever recordings by Sonagi, a then-new band fronted by Closer‘s Ryan Slausson. Since then, Closer released their great new album Within One Stem and Ryann also put out an LP with Scenario A (alongside members of Lord Snow, Coma Regalia, and more), and now Sonagi have announced their debut album, Precedent, due July 22 via Get Better Records (pre-order). It was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Organ Dealer’s Scot Moriarty, and also features engineering on the song “Pansori” by Saetia/Off Minor’s Steve Roche. The first single is “Ambivalence,” a dark, heavy, suspenseful song that the label’s press release says is “inspired by corporations utilizing business speak to create a charade of care and support between employer and employee – rules and values ultimately bent towards profit, not people.” Listen and watch the video (directed and edited by Ryann) below.
