Smoking Popes have an update...next year. The band will return to action in 2025, releasing their first studio album in seven years, ,a follow-up to 2018's Into The Agony. The new record is titled Lovely Stuff and will release in March via Anxious & Angry.
“It took us about two years to make this record,” vocalist Josh Caterer says in a press release. “We went into the studio with just two songs in the summer of 2022, then I kept writing and we'd go back every few months and record another couple songs. It was a long process because we were doing it all piecemeal, but I think the final product has a cohesive energy. The songs all feel connected.”
Two singles have already released online: “Madison” and “Golden Moment."
