Get ready to crank up the volume because Bacchae is back, delivering their fiery blend of post-punk with the announcement of their new album, Next Time, set to drop on July 5 via Get Better Records. Following the success of their 2020 album Pleasure Vision, this DC-based band has once again teamed up with J. Robbins, the legendary Jawbox producer, to bring us ten tracks of pure sonic rebellion.
Kicking off with the previously released single "Cooler Talk," Bacchae sets the tone with its catchy hooks and biting lyrics. The title track "Next Time" is a raw exploration of mental illness and the pressures of living in a capitalist society—expect it to hit hard and leave a mark. It's the kind of track that makes you want to scream and dance at the same time, a perfect anthem for anyone who's ever felt on the edge.
The album lineup reads like a setlist designed for maximum impact, from the energetic "Try" to the introspective "Feeling the Same," and the darkly humorous "Just A Rat." With tracks like "Drop Dead Gorgeous" and "Wicked Fountain," Bacchae promises to deliver a diverse range of emotions, wrapped up in tight, compelling compositions that are sure to resonate with fans old and new.
