After recently announcing their new album The L-Shaped Man and sharing a double video for ‘The Separation’ and ‘The Understanding,’ Ceremony are back today to share the video for another track from the upcoming title.
‘Your Life In France’ picks up right where the first two videos left off in terms of Ceremony’s lead screamer-turned-crooner Ross Farrar’s stark, emotionally raw delivery.
Ceremony’s fifth studio album, The L-Shaped Man, uses singer Ross Farrar’s recent breakup as a platform to explore loneliness and emotional weariness, but it is by no means a purely sad album. Rather than look inward, Farrar uses his experience to write about what it means to go through something heavy and come out the other side a different person.
The sound is abetted by producer John Reis, who honed his sound in seminal bands like Rocket from the Crypt, Drive Like Jehu, and Hot Snakes. Much of the gravelly aggression he experimented with in those bands is present on The L-Shaped Man.
The L-Shaped Man is out May 15th in NZ on Matador & proudly distributed by Rhythmethod
