It’s set to drop on Friday, 19th March and will be their first release through UNFD, who they signed with back in August 2020.
To celebrate, the band shared new single Divisionary, with accompanying visuals.
“It’s a song about our relationship to technology,” says frontman Jesse Cash. “The song is pretty on the nose and intentionally a bit tongue-in-cheek. It creates a sort of campy parallel between our phones and religion. In the song, technology is God and we are all zealous fanatics of the service it provides, which is a distraction from our immediate realities, which is presence.”
ERRA was recorded, mixed, and mastered by the Grammy-nominated pairing of Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland. It’s set to confront depression, anxiety and desperation; taking listeners on a journey to Aokigahara, the infamous Suicide Forest of Japan.
On the decision to self-title the band says, “We wanted to give people who have been following ERRA the sense that we’re starting a new chapter, with something fresh…We’ve always tried to have a balance of classic song structures, intertwined with experimental adventures. This album especially is music written for musicians that also appeals to the masses. There are a lot more breakdowns on this record, but also bigger melodies. The most important thing was to write music we enjoy.”
ERRA stomped onto the Alabama scene over a decade ago, quickly gaining quite the fanbase with their huge tunes and relatable lyrics. They have achieved Billboard charting success multiple times, featured on countless tastemaker playlists and racked up over 72 million streams on Spotify.
ERRA follows on from their 2018 release, Neon. It is available to pre-order and save here.
