Better Lovers Release New Single, “Future Myopia”

 

One of the year’s most highly-anticipated debut albums, Better Lovers’ "Highly Irresponsible" arrives Oct. 25 via SharpTone Records, and in the lead-up, the band – comprised of Jordan Buckley, Goose Holyoak, Stephen Micciche, Greg Puciato, and Will Putney - has offered up a second preview with today’s release of “Future Myopia”.

“Not that all of them weren’t, but this one was a lot of fun to write”, Greg Puciato says of the explosive track. “The bass-centric part in the back half of the song is one of my favorite moments on the whole record. Shout out to big Mitch. Same with the riff that comes after it. There were a lotta fun pitches to hit/alley-oops to catch for me in this one. Chorus took me a minute so that was a nice puzzle to figure out too. It’s been a joy writing with these guys and having so much different stuff thrown at me”.

Better Lovers first previewed the new album news with the release of “A White Horse Covered in Blood”, a single Knotfest praised as  “an auspicious start” that “sets the bar high for what’s to come” from the band. Consequence lauded the track’s ability to find “a satisfying sweet spot between thrash metal and hardcore”, while MetalSucks called its Eric Richter-directed video “loud, heavy, and incredibly fun”.

“Writing and recording our first full-length was slightly more surgical than the EP, but has a similar lack of restraint”, Jordan Buckley shared upon news of the album’s forthcoming release. “I got to wake up every day and watch the masters perfect their craft. It was a playground. Everything was funny. We were reading each other’s minds. Even creating our own language at some points. I didn’t know if I was watching my closest friends write music, or if I was watching music use us to exist”.

Producer and band member Will Putney added: “We’re so dialed in to exactly what we want to do, and our creative process is so in sync and natural that we rarely hit a wall when we work on music. My role is to capture the energy of the band the way it’s intended to sound: a band firing on all cylinders”.
