The follow-up to 2017's 'Everything Is Forgotten' was written, produced and performed by lead singer Jake Webb, mixed by Marta Salogni and mastered by Heba Kadry. It will be out on February 15th 2019 via 4AD Records. Pre-order it here.
The band have also dropped the video for their the self-proclaimed "surrealist love song" "Real Tight", directed by Matt Sav.
According to the press release, Triage "is like experiencing youth as a fever dream. Drawing from experiences that have been erased with time. As ever, the songs feel like "real life" even if their author has put their authenticity into question in the past."
"The first couple of records I wrote from a personal experience, then obscured it; that's how I write songs", Methyl Ethel's Jake Webb explains, "My go-to thing is really to write about an abstract emotional experience while being ultra-personal." This delicate balance of internal revelations played off against calculated ambiguity, has struck a nerve as Jake's lyrics are sung back at him by audiences around the globe. They are precise enough to be authentic, and hazy enough to be anyone's, a universality that is echoed when Jake touches on the themes of Triage. "It's about love, about mental health, about people and relationships. Isn't everything?"
