Torche has announced they'll be working on the follow-up to 2015's Restarter with guitarist Jonathan Nuñez at Cabana East in Miami, Florida. The record is due out sometime early 2019 via Relapse Records.
This will also be the band's first album with founding bassist Nuñez on guitar and with new bassist Eric Hernandez. This lineup change is due to the departure of guitarist Andrew Elstner in November 2016.
"The new record has a great balance of new elements that have become a part of our sound over the last couple years, which is very exciting for us. We're pushing classic signatures of our sonic identity and bringing new vibes to the table. This time around, there's going to more dynamics, while pushing our 'wall of sound' nature much further.”
Here's hoping maybe Torche will crank out an EP or a 7" between early 2019 and now, because more Torche is always a good thing.
