Today Toronto band Fucked Up announced details of their new album Another Day, which will be out on August 9 through the band’s own imprint Fucked Up Records. Each band member separately recorded all their respective parts in a single day. It is a powerful document of a band known for elaborate, intricate albums to instead let go and trust themselves as a musical unit.
Along with the news about the upcoming album, the band has shared the first single and video “Stimming,” which is three minute joyous Fucked Up style hymn to letting music help you through those rough days. While talking about their latest ditty, Fucked Up says: “In making the video for stimming we tried to depict the transcendence of music from within our bodies outward to physical action. ‘Stimming’ is self-soothing behavior through repetition, and in the context of music and our band, we overcome, calm, and manifest the best of ourselves through these specific, finely tuned physical movements which create a freeing joyous place from which to bring new ideas into the world.”
Over the course of 25 years, Fucked Up have altered our time and space through an unlikely combination of having many, many great ideas and a persistence that sees them through. Damian Abraham writes lyrics and sings, Mike Haliechuk writes lyrics, sings and plays guitar, Jonah Falco plays drums, guitar, and sings, Sandy Miranda plays bass and sings. Although it has been a decade since he’s been on a record, Zucker has returned to play guitar in a studio and Haliechuk produces the records.
