Methyl Ethel Announce New LP 'Are You Haunted?', Stream "Proof (ft. Stella Donnelly)"

Australian indie rock/alt-pop band Methyl Ethel have announced the release of their fourth studio album 'Are You Haunted?'.

The follow-up to 2019's Triage will be out on February 18 via Future Classic. Pre-order your copy here.

About the new single Proof (feat. Stella Donnelly) Methyl Ethel's lead singer Jake Webb explains: A lot of the ideas in Proof come from thinking about what we mean when we talk about truth. It’s also a song that was inspired by watching a lot of old European cinema, which I love. We decided to play with some of those themes, the use of black and white throughout is intended to be read in the idiomatic sense, of things being ‘black and white’. Two people are discussing, explaining their version of truth, their Proof.

Working with Stella has been a joy from the start, that sentiment continued when we were making this clip. Who else could I possibly approach to join me in bringing this song to life if not the truth-telling queen herself! The seen and unseen, the art of subterfuge, and the psychoanalytical reading of dreams are all elements that we’ve played with here in what was my absolute favourite video to make so far.

Methyl Ethel Announce New LP 'Triage', Drop "Real Tight" New Video

Australian indie rock/alt-pop band Methyl Ethel have announced the release of their third studio album titled 'Triage'.

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?"

Check out the tracklist and watch the video for "Real Tight" below.

Tracklist:
01. Ruiner
02. Scream Whole
03. All The Elements
04. Trip The Mains
05. Post-Blue
06. Real Tight
07. Hip Horror
08. What About The 37º?
09. No Fighting
