| Colorado folk-punk band Doom Scroll have released their new album, Exhausted Dialogue, today through Flail Records. The 11-track record is the band’s first full-length since 2021’s Immoral Compass and brings together their mix of folk-punk, pop-punk, ska and cinematic punk songwriting.The complete album is now streaming alongside a song-by-song rundown written by the band at Punknews.Listen and read the track-by-track here: https://www.punknews.org/article/89246/listen-to-doom-scrolls-new-album-and-read-a-track-by-track-breakdownStream Exhausted Dialogue here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/doomscroll/exhausted-dialogue?ref=releaseExhausted Dialogue deals with internal and external struggles, the exhaustion of fighting the same battles repeatedly and the difficulty of finding any lasting way out.“Exhausted Dialogue is an album about internal and external struggle,” vocalist and guitarist Elliot Lozier explains. “Rarely do we find any kind of reprieve when facing these struggles, and it felt like we were beating a dead horse by singing about these topics again and again.”The title comes from video-game terminology. Players “exhaust” an NPC’s dialogue by repeatedly speaking with the character until there is nothing new left to say—a concept Lozier felt captured the frustration and repetition running through the record.The album includes the previously released singles “The Ravine,” “Zugzwang” and “Sisyphus.” While “The Ravine” finds the band pushing through a seemingly cursed stretch of bad luck, “Zugzwang” looks at the dead-end logic of war. “Sisyphus” uses the Greek myth as a parallel for the monotony of working to survive under capitalism.“The song is about being stuck in a Groundhog Day scenario where the monotony and repetition of making a living wage dilutes the feeling of being alive,” the band says of “Sisyphus.” “Instead of working together, capitalism keeps us separated and forces the poor to live in this awful cycle like Sisyphus.”Doom Scroll recorded Exhausted Dialoguethemselves, with Lozier and guitarist Jon Pizarrotracking the album in their bedrooms. Grammy Award-winning engineer Jason Livermoremixed and mastered the record. His credits include Propagandhi’s Supporting Caste, NOFX’s Wolves in Wolves’ Clothing and The Suicide Machines’ War Profiteering Is Killing Us All. Ian Cook of Larry and His Flask also appears on the track “Horsemen.”The album marks Doom Scroll’s first release through Flail Records, following the recent announcement that the band had joined the label’s roster alongside Bridge City Sinners, Days N Daze and Escape From The Zoo.“Doom Scroll is a band that’s been on our radar for quite a while. When they sent us the new album and told us they were looking for a label, our eyes bulged out of their sockets like a cartoon frog,” Flail Records says. “We love these folks. For years now they’ve been DIY touring like madmen, relentlessly writing and recording increasingly great records, and maintaining the type of creatively independent ethos that truly sets them apart from other bands. We’re thrilled to be working with them and couldn’t be more excited for people to hear the new record.”Formed in 2020, Doom Scroll brings together Elliot Lozier (We the Heathens, Pesky Self, Atrocity Solution, Escape From The Zoo), vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Taylor Dittman(Broken Bow, Hermit Stew), bassist Micah Butler(Chatterbox and the Latter Day Satanists, Helga Pataki), guitarist and producer Jon Pizarro of Dead Work, and drummer Marissa Sendejas(Chad Hates George, formerly of Days N Daze).Doom Scroll will support Exhausted Dialoguewith an extensive fall tour beginning October 14.The run includes an early performance at FESTin Gainesville, dates with Pentagram String Band, a Canadian leg with The You and Me’s, and two final headlining shows.DOOM SCROLL TOUR DATESOctober 14 — Kansas City, MO — Farewell October 15 — St. Louis, MO — Moshmellow October 16 — Louisville, KY — Dive Bar on Frankfort October 17 — Nashville, TN — The Arcane Workshop October 19 — Athens, GA — Flicker Theatre October 20 — Savannah, GA — Savannah’s Arcade October 21 — Jacksonville, FL — The Walrus October 22 — St. Augustine, FL — Shanghai Nobby’s October 25 — Gainesville, FL — FEST (early show)With Pentagram String Band:October 27 — Charleston, SC — Tin Roof October 28 — Atlanta, GA — 529 October 29 — Huntsville, AL — Mad Malts October 30 — Chattanooga, TN — JJ’s Bohemia October 31 — Murfreesboro, TN — CxR Crossroads November 2 — Cincinnati, OH — The Comet November 3 — Lansing, MI — Green Door November 4 — Columbus, OH — Spacebar November 5 — Buffalo, NY — Nietzsche’s November 6 — Pittsburgh, PA — Mr. Roboto Project November 7 — New Hope, PA — John & Peter’s November 8 — Wallingford, CT — Cherry Street Station November 11 — Boston, MA — Deep Cuts November 13 — Burlington, VT — Venue TBAWith The You and Mes:November 14 — Quebec City, QC — Le Scanner November 15 — Montreal, QC — Foufounes Électriques November 16 — Ottawa, ON — Dominion Tavern November 17 — Toronto, ON — Monarch Tavern November 18 — Guelph, ON — Sonic Hall November 19 — Hamilton, ON — Mills Hardware November 20 — London, ON — Holy DiverDoom Scroll only:November 21 — Toledo, OH — Venue TBA November 22 — Chicago, IL — Venue TBAAlbum art by Elliot Lozier |
