Blast from the past, everyone. No, I’m not talking about this one or this one; I’m talking about Milemarker, the synth-driven post-hardcore band from the late 90s/early 00s responsible for albums like Anaesthetic and Frigid Forms Sell. The group, which reunited a couple years ago after a hiatus that began in 2009, return this year with their first new album in over a decade.
Overseas is their sixth full-length and first since 2005’s Ominosity. Recorded with Electrical Audio’s Greg Norman, the album sees the group continuing to shapeshift their sound, with new members Lena Kilkka (synth, vocals) and Ezra Cale (drums) deepening “the krautrock and electronic tendencies, pushing the sound in unexpected directions,” according to the press release.
Overseas is out August 26 via Lovitt Records. To support the release, the band will go on their first tour since 2008, including US shows leading up to the album’s release in August and performances in Europe later in October. Find the dates below.
But first, check out TMT’s premiere of album cut “Conditional Love,” which is a good kind of love, in my book.
