The band are currently in the middle of an 80-date marathon tour which will continue in Europe & in the UK after the dates gigs in Mexico. Tour dates and poster are available below.
On this track, Coilguns return to their early style, characterised bycryptic beats, anxious harmonies and desperate moans. Through achaotic sequence of horizonless riffs, the band expresses empathy for those in dysfunctional families who were forced to cohabit during lockdown with no chances of escape. The lyrics highlight the problematic roles that fathers too often embody in our patriarchal societies and the toxicity of the ‘good family man’ figure.These four minutes of noise, carefully produced by Californianengineer and musician Scott Evans (Kowloon Walled City), are aperfect example of what Evans’s “Sad Dude Core” recipe is good for:exorcising the rotten parts of ourselves.
As singer Louis Jucker says:“The paradoxical good thing about a global crisis is that it providesan opportunity for global learning. Being forced to stay at home, Ithink many of us were confronted with the dirt that had been hiddenunder our carpets for too long. If our personal situations allowed allof us in the band to get through this without being hurt too badly,we wanted to show our support for all those who weren’t as lucky aswe were”.
EP written, arranged and produced by Coilguns, recorded by Scott Evans in Ocean Sounds studio, Giske (Norway), mixed by Scott Evans (January 2025), mastered by Magnus Lindberg (January 2025).
