RLYR, the band featuring Steven Hess (Locrian, Cleared), Colin DeKuiper (Bloodiest), and Trevor Shelley de Brauw (Pelican, Chord), will release their first new record in four years on May 13. The band is now streaming the churning debut single "Wrack."
"Once we lost the capacity to play shows, we decided to just bunker down and fine-tune everything," said Shelley de Brauw. "For some of the songs it was a matter of continual refinement, whereas others, 'Codeine Horse' for example, kept expanding and getting more exploratory. The extra time served us well in a lot of respects."
RLYR was engineered by Sanford Parker, recorded at Chicago's legendary Electrical Audio, and mixed at Hypercube Music Studio. Pre-orders are available here.
