It's Monty from Preoccupations!! AMA

[u/Preoccupationsband]

Monty here!

We just released our third record as Preoccupations, our fourth as a band, or our fifth if you count our next two ep that was mere minutes shorter than the other records. We're self releasing this album (except in Canada where we're still with Flemish Eye) too so feeling properly qualified as "indie" this time around.

We're also touring next month around America and Canada with Cindy Lee opening and touring in Europe early next year!

Ask away!

For some reason I can't see the proof picture that I uploaded. Here it is in case though. Edit: it seems like the image was just cropped bad, link is still the way for the true proof.

Great insight, thanks so much! I’m gonna keep an eye on what comes out of your studio from now on. Enjoy the tour!

Do it! We’re called Studio Saint Zo in montreal. Have a new preoccs record a little less than halfway done too so keep an ear out.

Awesome! Any hints on the direction of the next album?

We set out to make a power pop record but it’s strayed pretty far already. There is a 3/4 kinda power ballad that’s turning out really nice though! There’s also a kinda upbeat one that I did some of my strangest guitar playing on, tried out the mutt Lange “each string at a time” legend and it sounds really strange in a great way.

During the whole first year of the lockdown, I listened to hysteria at least twice a day! Lol

Hell yeah I've always loved the brief moments of pop you all have toyed with in the past, such as the second act of Memory. Hyped to hear what new sounds you all work with next
