Truck Violence release The Weathervane Is My Body on 26 June via The Flenser, and the title sounds like a body forced to register every change in the political weather. The Canadian avant-hardcore four-piece handled composition, recording, mixing and visual media in-house, extending the DIY logic that shaped the band after guitarist-banjoist Paul Lecours and singer-poet Karsyn Henderson left a tiny Alberta town for Montréal. Their sound draws from punk, shoegaze and sludge, but the record’s first single New Jesus makes clear that the noise is not just aesthetic. Henderson frames the song as a rant about a fascistic slide happening south of Canada’s border and on screen. The album looks like a volatile document: reclaimed-material imagery, long grotesque song titles, UK dates and a band using homemade infrastructure to say something ugly about the world with maximum force.
