La Dispute - "Environmental Catastrophe Film"

Photo credit: Martin 

Having returned last month to announce No One Was Driving the Car, their first new album in six years, La Dispute have this week shared Environmental Catastrophe Film', an eight-minute composition that twists, turns and convulses its way towards its climatic finale. The new track follows Act One of the album, a three-song suite made up of 'I Shaved My Head', 'Man with Hands and Ankles Bound' and 'Autofiction Detail' — each a tense, poetic vignette, steeped in the band’s signature blend of spoken-word intimacy and post-hardcore catharsis. Speaking about 'Environmental Catastrophe Film', vocalist Jordan Dreyer offers:"the second act—more or less the thematic centre of the record—is a single song split into three parts. it begins with a boy beside a creek-bed in a wooded area near home, holding a snapping turtle above the flowing water, before tracing its winding path to the river around which the city was first built, and through a brief history of the city itself—its settlement, the creation of the christian reformed church, and the furniture industry that dominated its early economic growth" Take a listen for yourselves below.
