Torche has been releasing a slew of song premieres over the last few weeks, but now you can sit back and stream Restarter in its entirety before its February 24th release on Relapse Records.
This is the band’s fourth album, streaming today at Noisey, is their first on new label home Relapse. Bassist Jonathan Nuñez told LoudWire about the new album:
“Us, not doing a record that has 10 of the same exact type of song, it just happens naturally, I’ll say that. It works out. The album, it has a flow. From one song to another, there’s differences. It feels, at the end, when it’s all said and done, they feel like records. You have your happier songs, meaner songs, however you want to look at it. I would assume you would reach people that maybe are drawn in by an aspect or maybe variety. Hopefully, there’s some continuity to our sound even when we’re changing it up. It keeps me interested.”
Torche will be hitting the road in early March with Wrong and Relapse label-mates Nothing.
