Update: April 23rd, 2024 11:46am:
The band’s frontman Manuel Gagneux has commented on this new album and its title, which is inspired by an annual tradition in his hometown of Basel, SWI. That event celebrates a mythical hybrid creature that is paraded through the streets, with Gagneux commenting:
“The GREIF is a lion, a snake, and a bird. During the parade, he turns his backside to the aristocrats and sticks it to the man. It reflects where we are.”
Speaking of the album itself, he added:
“I wanted to expand upon what we had and introduce new colors. There are angry and accusatory moments, but there’s also some solace and happiness. I’m widening the palette of colors we have to paint with. These are avenues we haven’t tried.”
Pre-orders will launch this Friday, April 26th.
