Ceremony’s seventh album Tell Me Your Dream arrives on 7 August through Relapse Records in post-punk and hardcore.
The ten-track, half-hour release draws together the California band’s hardcore beginnings, post-punk experimentation and early anarcho-punk influences. Songs such as 'Other Hells', 'Madness' and 'Dark Summer' address political violence, isolation and intimate personal struggle without separating those experiences into different worlds.
The band has described the album as a demand for vulnerability at a moment when relationships increasingly feel transactional. Recent preview 'Dark Summer' uses post-punk tension to capture dread appearing in the middle of apparent brightness. After 21 years, Ceremony sounds less interested in nostalgia than in making its entire history useful.
