The Menzingers have announced their sixth studio album, 'Hello Exile'.
The Philadelphia punks will put out the follow up to 2017's 'After The Party' on October 4 via Epitaph, having once again teamed up with producer Will Yip, recording over six weeks at his Conshohocken, Pennsylvania-based Studio 4. Vocalist Greg Barnett said:
"That’s the longest amount of time we’ve ever worked with Will. We wanted to make sure these stories didn’t get lost in the music, so we kept it to a lot of room sounds with the guitar and bass and drums."
To celebrate the news, the band have shared the record's artwork and the catchy lead single, Anna, which finds them turning their anthemic and incisive storytelling songwriting to matters of love and romance. Have a listen below.
They'll support the release with a European tour beginnning in early 2020, including UK shows in Southampton, Bristol, Manchester, Dublin, Glasgow, Newcastle, Birmingham, and London, where they'll play the O2 Forum on February 15.
Tickets go on general sale at 9am on July 19. North American dates are to be announced shortly.
