Montreal, QC-based post-hardcore band Spite House have landed a deal with Pure Noise Records. The group have lined up a September 12th release date for their sophomore album “Desertion” through the latter, with the below Jordano Aguzzi-directed video for the song “Desert” having been shared.
As vocalist/guitarist Maxime Lajoie reveals, the song was inspired by deep personal trauma, offering:
“It’s a snapshot of the morning I found out my dad had taken his own life and had to go back in my house to pack and leave, both literally and emotionally. It’s the sound of emptiness and confusion–of standing in a place that used to feel like home and realizing it’s now abandoned.”
Lajoie also went on to say the following of the record itself:
“There’s nothing happy about these songs. They’re about trying to relive these tragic experiences so that I can try to not let them define me–so the sonics really needed to match that. I didn’t want to worry about songs sounding too dark or too aggressive.”
