“A hazy, dusky spin on slowcore.” - THE ALTERNATIVE
Houston, TX four-piece Trembler is excited to join the Rite Field Records family with the announcement of their new EP, Total Sorry, available everywhere on January 29, 2026. The first preview of the band’s shift in sound, “Wilt,” arrives today with delicate precision; soft guitars and vocals reflecting on loss. The song wades through despair to find the other side of grief, a hope-filled reminder to push through.
“‘Wilt’ deals with what it sounds like–watching something beautiful in my life die,” bandleader Luke Gonzales explains. “Losing my closest friends, having my view of something that consumed so much of my life splinter and leave, and wondering whether it was hollow all along. Generally, a good representation of the central feeling I was trying to capture on this EP. It's sad, but in my opinion, sober in its acceptance that how things were are over now, in an attempt to move on.”
LISTEN TO “WILT” PRE-ORDER TOTAL SORRY
Total Sorry finds the band reinventing their approach to making music, carving off layers of distortion and muddled guitars to reveal meticulously crafted songs. A short collection of songs about change and the fallout around it, each track moves between quiet, personal moments and loud, stretched out sections that unfold over time. Meant to be listened to as a whole, the upcoming EP finds the band at a moment of reimagination and lays the groundwork for what the band will tackle next.
Last year, Trembler shared the double single World Doesn’t Want Me, which captures slow chugging songs “Allergic” and “Stupid.” The group spent the majority of the year working on new music, which can be expected throughout 2026.
Having played packed shows with bands like Soft Blue Shimmer, Keep, Prize Horse, They Are Gutting A Body of Water, and more, Trembler will return to the stage soon. To stay in the loop on upcoming appearances, follow Trembler on Instagram at @TremblerBand. |
