Team Dresch Announce Furthermore, Their First Album in 30 Years

The Portland queercore band says the record is an intergenerational love letter that will be followed by U.S. and European tour dates.

Overview

  • The band announced the new album on Monday and released lead single “One Song” with a music video that is available as they open preorders.
  • The “One Song” video was directed by Nina Landey and stars Jody Bleyle’s daughter Twylo Landey, and the single frames the record as a love song to younger selves with lyric references to Maurice Sendak’s In the Night Kitchen.
  • Furthermore is listed as a 12-track album to be released on Jealous Butcher this September, with outlets reporting either September 18 or September 26 as the date and preorders currently live.
  • The recording features a reunited five-piece lineup that includes both 1990s drummers Marcéo Martinez and Melissa York, and at least one report credits Greg Griffith as a co-producer.
  • The announcement follows the band’s recent 30th-anniversary shows for Personal Best and is likely to bring original fans and younger queer audiences together on the planned U.S. and UK/EU tour stops.
