Los Angeles rockers Dead Sara have announced their first full-length album in six years. The band’s third LP, Ain’t It Tragic, will arrive on September 17th.
The album news has already been preceded by two singles, “Heroes,” which arrived earlier this summer, and “Hand’s Up,” which the band released last year.
“Deep in the making of this album, in the thick of the pandemic, we had nothing to do but write and record music,” said singer Emily Armstrong in a press release. “Amid all that was happening in the world and the day-in day-out in the studio, we let our guards down and let whatever happen, happen … losing our minds.”
Ain’t It Tragic was co-produced by the band’s drummer, Sean Friday, and Noah Shain (who also worked on Dead Sara’s self-titled 2012 debut album).
Dead Sara’s last album was 2015’s Pleasure to Meet You. In between their full-length efforts, the band released the EP Temporary Things Taking Up Space in 2018.
As previously reported, Dead Sara will embark on a fall US tour. The outing will kick off on September 17th at Milwaukee’s Summerfest and run through an October 9th stop at L.A.’s Roxy, where they will play both an early and late set on the same night.
