Canadian synth-rock/post punk band
Operators have announced the release of their sophomore album '
Radiant Dawn'.
The follow-up to 2016's debut album
Blue Wave, was written and recorded throughout 2018 and early 2019 in Montreal and Vancouver Island. Arcade Fire’s Tim Kingsbury played bass on the album’s closing track. It will be out on May 17 via Last Gang Records and features their brand new single "
Faithless". Pre-order your copy

According to the press release, Radiant Dawn's nine tracks meld raw analog hardware with frontman Dan Boeckner's distinct voice to create an immersive cinematic sound. Interspersed between the tracks are instrumental inter-titles that amplify the album’s 1970s sci-fi dystopian feel.
For fans of Boeckner’s catalogue (Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs, Divinite Fits) Radiant Dawn feels like the next logical step in the artist’s two decade career, while maintaining a completely fresh energy.
