To celebrate the news, the band have released the album’s lead single, Perennial In A Haunted House, which is out now on Bandcamp. In The Midnight Hour will feature a dozen odes to the nighttime, and the album’s sounds and silences became a matching suite, a punk album full of sudden quiet, a skeleton dance in a 12-room haunted mansion.

The song itself couldn’t be louder, but in terms of story the mood is this quiet, haunting thing. Moments like that are like haunted houses of our own making: even mirrors or shadows or balloons are a little bit eerie at that point; that stillness in the room a few hours after New Year’s, when it’s just an empty ballroom and yesterday’s party outfits.”
