Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have announced their third album, Endless Rooms, which will be out May 6 via Sub Pop. The band produced themselves for the first time, and say the record is "Doing what we do best: chasing down songs in a room together."
The first single is "How It Shatters," which adds synthesizers to RBCF's signature jangly, three-guitar attack. “It’s about how ending up in your particular situation in life is the result of absolute randomness," they say. "If you happen to be born into wealthy Australia or happen to be born into a war zone in Syria. That’s just the way it shatters. So it’s when this good luck is mistaken for a sense of pride in one’s self or their country they become confused and deluded about what’s important. It’s when those on the other side of the luck scale are completely othered and considered not worthy.”
You can watch the surreal video for "The Way It Shatters," which stars the band's Joe White as a man who stumbles out of the ocean and into a birthday party (shot at the same house that's on Endless Rooms' cover), below.
Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have also announced their first North American tour since 2019. It includes a stop at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg on August 6 and wraps up in Los Angeles at Teragram Ballroom on August 23. Tickets for the whole tour go on sale Friday, February 4 at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.
