Pittsburgh emo band, Short Fictions, announce new single “Reno Nevada, January 2020” off their upcoming third album Oblivion Will Own Me and Death Alone Will Love Me out October 6th. Their second release on Lauren Records, every Short Fictions album has some kind of apocalypse happening. From the sudden deaths of close friends, to the effects of aging on touring and making music, to beyond, these ideas converge to form the creation of their new album.
“I wrote this one in kind of a time of panic,” says guitarist and vocalist Sam Treber. “Whereas the last one was a fun one, this one's a little bit more chaotic and spastic again. Where Every Moment of Every Day felt like a tight mixtape of pop songs, this record’s tracklist has a larger scale. It’s filled with momentary detours like the instrumental “I Cannot Possibly Perceive the Least Kinship Now Between the Dead Girl and Myself Which Makes Most of My Days Inevitably Dreary,” the bedroom pop snippet “I’m Going to Kill Myself With a Gun,” and the Twin Peaks-quoting “Pittsburgh.”
