Touché Amoré Announce Stage Four
10 Year Anniversary Edition
Out April 10 Via Epitaph
Share "Rapture (Gloom Version)” Feat. Wisp
Anniversary Tour Starts This Spring
Touché Amoré is marking a decade of their groundbreaking album Stage Four with a deluxe anniversary reissue arriving digitally on April 10th. The expanded edition features eleven new tracks, including unreleased demos and remixes with artists Cody Votolato (The Blood Brothers), Youth Code and Kerry McCoy (Deafheaven). Lead single “Rapture (Gloom Edition)”, a tender collaboration featuring Wisp, is out today. Stripped to a lo-fi acoustic pulse, Jeremy Bolm’s hushed vocals meet Wisp’s angelic harmonies, turning a once devastating anthem into a fragile, ethereal glow. Check it out below:

The limited-edition vinyl release consists of 4 discs pressed on square records: each on exclusive colorways. The albums are housed in a clear pink slipcase with new artwork, diecut sleeves, diecut labels and a large double-sided poster.
Frontman Jeremy Bolm comments: “ ‘Rapture’ is a staple in our set and has been since the album dropped. Over time, the call and response bit that happens during the bridge has become as much of our show as anything else. I wanted to get Wisp on this track because I’m a big fan of Natalie’s vocal ability for its whispery, breathy nature. It has a haunting element that matched the energy of the song.”
Bolm continues: “ ‘Stage Four’ was a mandatory album for my journey with grief, and the impact it’s had on the band as well as our audience - however heavy or light - feels worth celebrating.”
Recorded in early 2016 with producer Brad Wood, Stage Four is Touché Amoré's most unflinching and artistic statement, earning praise from Pitchfork as a "harrowing and unrelenting record." The cathartic, sentimental, and sonically triumphant album marked a pivotal moment in the band's career, balancing dreams and loss as singer Jeremy Bolm navigated personal tragedy. Four records in, it solidified Touché Amoré's reputation as one of rock music's most talented, relatable, and visceral acts.
Formed in Burbank, California across 2007 and 2008, the band’s urgent sound, with its melodic sonic assault and impassioned vocals, has grown tighter and more refined through six full-length albums and a series of EP’s and releases. Since those early days, lead singer Jeremy Bolm, guitarists Nick Steinhardt and Clayton Stevens, bassist Tyler Kirby, and drummer Elliot Babin have created a trajectory for themselves through hard work and dedication.
This spring the band will celebrate this landmark anniversary by embarking on an April US tour and a June EU run where they will play ‘Stage Four’ in full. A handful of European festival appearances are on the books as well, including Primavera Sound, Outbreak Fest and more. All upcoming dates are listed below.
