Canadian post-punk/new wave band Preoccupations (formerly known as Viet Cong) have announced the release of their fourth studio album 'Arrangements'.
Set to arrive on September 9, the follow-up to their 2018's album New Material, finds the band restoring their roots with the singular, guitar driven, dissonant yet anthemic washes of intricate noise that has brought them international acclaim since their basement beginnings. It will be out , pre-order your copy here.
For lovers of all things Bowie, Branca, Spacemen 3 and MBV, progressive punk, jangle rock and mangled goth.
Arrangements sees Preoccupations finally and confidently inhabiting the dystopia that they have been carefully creating from their musical genesis. They are in a room with taped up windows, except for a tiny pinprick of light beaming from the otherworld onto the far wall, upside down and blurred, it’s recognizable enough to fill you with warm familiarity and nostalgia of unknown origins.
