Oregon’s Southtowne Lanes have announced their highly anticipated new album, Take Care, out on May 10th, 2024 via Dog Knights Productions. The album – a collection of tracks inspired by loss and struggling through the stages of grief – marks the band’s first new music since 2016’s Give Up The Ghost.
“On the surface, this record was written largely in dedication to my father, whom passed away in a brutal and sudden manner in September of 2021,” shares lead singer/guitarist Matt Kupka. “The album, song by song, dissects the stages of grief: how they relate, how they changed me, how I dealt with them, and how they led me down to the depths of my own mortality, where it seemed there could be no light.”
He continues: “In the end, Take Care is about the shreds of hope that are found buried in the wreckage of loss and grief. It’s about peeling back the layers of hurt, and finding resilience in the human condition.”
Fans can look forward to the first single “Go Cold”, which will be out on March 29th. Take Care will be out in full on May 10th.
