For more than a decade, L.A. phenoms Touché Amoré have been a driving force as vanguards of the contemporary hardcore scene. Over the years, and across their discography, the band has probed and navigated anxiety, isolation, illness, and grief. Now a bedrock of post-hardcore, Touché Amoré have never stopped looking forward. Their latest work, the deeply-felt Spiral in a Straight Line, continues on the trajectory of innovation, transformation, and reflection, translating lived experiences into a broadly resonant record that continues to explore new sonic territory for the band. It’s a reckoning with monumental change — an evocative result of internal and external turbulence.

The band’s second time working with renowned — and notorious, lore-ridden — producer Ross Robinson (At the Drive-In, Slipknot, Glassjaw), Spiral in a Straight Line revels in discomfort. This ongoing collaboration marks a new dimension of complexity as Touché Amoré further push the boundaries of their sound while delving further into their emotional core. A deft, dynamic creative unit at this stage in their storied career, the band wields intimacy with steady hands and exhibits new mastery over their relentlessly expressive sonics. As ever, they are in equal measure deliberate and impassioned. 

Linear and circular at the same time, Spiral in a Straight Line is concerned with the fear and trepidation that accompanies shifts out of one’s control. The anxiety of a circle broken: how you figure your way out.
