Come and sink your teeth into the dazzling new era for alternative luminaries Yours Truly, with the Sydney trio today announcing their brand new studio album “Toxic”, set for release on August 16th, 2024, via UNFD.
With their name now cemented on a global scale, Yours Truly journey even further into their trademark versatility on their forthcoming sophomore album chapter, expanding beyond stylistic confines and expectations. Effusive and effervescent one moment, dark and damaging the next, “Toxic” runs the spectrum of human emotions across its 10 tracks.
Led by a star turn from vocalist Mikaila Delgado, the album is an open-vein, open heart diary of personal crisis, a dynamic yet cohesive soundscape of pop and rock, indie and alternative shimmering and shuddering beneath Delgado’s cathartic confessionals: in short, it’s a lethal dose of brilliance from one of the scene’s brightest musical acts.
Following up from the brooding pulse of “Call My Name”, latest single “Sour” serves up captivating hooks for days on a platter of irresistible staccato swagger.
Following up from the brooding pulse of “Call My Name”, latest single “Sour” serves up captivating hooks for days on a platter of irresistible staccato swagger. “‘Sour’ was written during a session after I was feeling extremely burnt out”, shares vocalist Mikaila Delgado. “We had come off extensive touring and quite a turbulent time not only for the band but personally as well. I was just feeling so bitter towards everything and trying to force writing when it just wasn’t naturally flowing made me so angry. We got to a stage as a band where we had a lot of people in our ear telling us what to do and how they thought we should do it. I just thought ‘fuck this, this is our fucking band, I’m going to do what I want’”!
“Sour” follows on from Yours Truly’s most recent single “Call My Name”, with the latter praised by Kerrang! for its catchy wiles as well as spending multiple weeks in triple j’s Most Played list. Adopting modernised pop punk stylings alongside themes of self discovery, “Call My Name” seamlessly leads into Sour’s powerhouse qualities, with both offering a tempting peek into what lies in wait on “Toxic”.
Polished, precise and hauntingly vulnerable, Yours Truly catapulted their previous trademark pop punk style into a new stratosphere via their 2022 EP “is this what i look like?”. Armed with raw honesty and heightened influences, “is this what i look like?” explored moments of pop punk and introspection while also forging an amalgamation of organic yet unexpected new sounds, emerging as an irresistible exploration into heightened rock, emo and dance-ready sparkle woven into the Yours Truly DNA.
From their 2020 album “Self Care” scooping up an ARIA nomination for Best Hard Rock or Heavy album, to boasting massive international performances, millions of streams and an ever-growing legion of global fans, Yours Truly remain transfixed as one of the most exciting bands on the scene courtesy of their striking songwriting and dynamic live performances.
