New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Topshelf Records) My Fictions will be releasing their first full length album Stranger Songs on July 1, 2014. We wanted to fill you in a little more on that - album art (directly below), the track list and some words from the band (below).
Stranger Songs is a 28-minute audible display of manic intensity. The ten tracks each plunge deep down into a darkness that was only teased at on the band's 2012 EP, Always Trapped. The songs are certainly "stranger" than anything the band has released before: sometimes there are mere seconds between the chaotic blast beats and the slow, crushing riffs that the album attacks with. However, the true "stranger" in Stranger Songs is the one that lyricist Bryan Carifio seems fixated on becoming, as identity is a constant battle screamed over songs wavering between catharsis and collapse.
"This album has been in the works for a minute - we started writing this stuff at the end of 2012. We finished writing it at the beginning of 2014. Most everything we did with this record, we did in-house. We tried to make the album as insular as possible, so what you're getting on this record is just us."
-Bryan Carifio, My Fictions
Stranger Songs will be released July 1, 2014 but you can get notified when pre-orders go up and hear the band playing new songs from it if you're in the Boston area.
