(September 5, 2024) - Today, Touché Amoré shares “Hal Ashby,” the second single from their new album Spiral in a Straight Line, due October 11th via Rise Records. The track is named after the acclaimed American director, known for his work in the counterculture era of 70s cinema (Being ThereHarold and Maude) and his tragically misunderstood characters. With clever turns of phrase and a powerful vocal performance, Bolm explores the idea of misunderstandings, both big and small, and expresses his desperate need for some kind of course correction.


Accompanying the single, Touché Amoré shares a surreal music video directed by Sean Stout, which depicts frontman Jeremy Bolm watching an Ashby-esque movie at the theater, with the music blurring the line between the action on-screen and in the theater itself. Bolm shares that “the ‘Hal Ashby’ music video is half a love letter to Hal and half a dream-like interpretation of the song as a whole. Something that can be misunderstood as this or that – and finding the grace in-between.”


“Hal Ashby” exemplifies the theme of spiraling seen throughout the new album – the feeling of getting caught in the emotional debris of the words, emotions, memories and pain that are left after things are flipped upside down, and figuring out how to keep pushing through. Spiral In A Straight Line challenges the band to dig deep again, and they return with a poignant body of work, rooted in life-altering changes and the turmoil of moving forward while grappling with what’s been left behind.


To realize their vision, Touché Amoré reunited with legendary producer Ross Robinson (KoRn, Slipknot, Glassjaw, At The Drive-In etc.) with whom they previously collaborated on their critically acclaimed album Lament, which was awarded Best New Album by Pitchfork. Spiral in a Straight Line also features collaborations with Julien Baker (of boygenius) and the rock pioneer Lou Barlow (Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, The Folk Implosion).


Following the release of Spiral in a Straight Line, Touché Amoré will be hitting the road for their 2024 headlining tour with support from Soul Glo, Portrayal of Guilt and Soft Blue Shimmer. Launching October 9th, the tour will see them making stops in Los Angeles, Seattle, Atlanta, and Brooklyn. Tickets are available for purchase here.
