The tour announcement comes two months after the release of the band’s fifth full-length studio album Swan Song. The album finds the band experimenting beyond their established heavy sound, with the vicious down tuned guitars prevalent on the record sharing the spotlight with brooding, atmospheric electronics that inhabit the more low-key moments. The first single the band released from the album was “Face Me”, alongside a music video for the song, and the album’s artwork, track list and release date. The second single from the album “Enemy” was released on August 19th, and the third single “Paradigm” was released just a week before the album’s release, with a music video to go along with it. The album is available on all streaming services, and physical media can be bought here.
The Plot In You have never been a band to shy away from gritty, dark lyrical themes, and Swan Song is no different in this regard. Take for example the album’s opening track “Letters To A Dead Friend”, a slow-burning song that sees vocalist Landon Tewers opening up and reflecting on memories of now deceased loved-ones; “I get choked up thinkin’ of things we used to say and do, We probably fucked each other’s lives but now we’re makin’ do.”
The album has received favourable reviews from critics, with Distorted Sound praising it highly, saying; “it is something of a musical progression for the Ohio quartet; a band never exactly known for their conformity to mediocrity. As they drive away from their demons with tyres screeching and smoking, they have also well and truly continued to leave their metalcore beginnings stranded in their wake”.
The Plot In You are currently on tour in the United States in support of the album alongside Silverstein, who are celebrating their twentieth anniversary as a band.
