Propagandhi Reveals Title Track from Upcoming Album ‘At Peace’
Propagandhi has been hard at work on a much-anticipated new album, and today they have officially unveiled the details, including sharing the title track. “At Peace” is set to be released on May 2 through Epitaph Records, and it was co-produced by the band and John Paul Peters. The album was recorded in two locations, Winnipeg’s Private Ear Recording and vocalist-guitarist Chris Hannah’s basement studio, Oceanside Mountainview Studios.
In a recent press release, Chris Hannah discussed the album, stating, “Speaking for myself, this record might be a snapshot of me deciding whether I’m going to live out the rest of my life as Eckhart Tolle or live out the rest of my life as Ted Kaczynski.” He further explained that while the essence of the songs still comes from the same person who wrote their first record in 1993, the lyrics now encapsulate more despair compared to 30 years ago. The songs on this new album reflect an existential dread of trying to navigate through a society that is perceived as wholly failed.
