The Ghost Is Clear will release Reflections and Criticisms, the first new album from

Mercy Ties in 10 years. The record comes out on March 28, with the lead single out now (below), "Love All the People."

The band was last active in 2015, going on hiatus after Proper Corruption.

"We needed to take a break," vocalist Andre Sanabria says in a press release. "We were all facing tensions for various reasons and needed some space. Other aspects of life were pulling us away." The band later regained enthusiasm during the pandemic, ultimately adding up to a new record.

The single "Love All the People" also appeared on The Ghost Is Clear's 2024 label sampler.

 

Tracklist:

1) Preamble
2) A New Hell Everyday
3) Normative Violence
4) Survivor's Guilt
5) No Longer Human
6) Requiem
7) The Spectacle of the Scaffold
8) Giving Witness to Extinction
9) Love All the People
10) A Body in Search of a Corpse
11) Acta est Fabula, Plaudite
