“Expect it to be unpolished and imperfect,” lead vocalist Jazz Nicolas said in May. “Maybe a little lo-fi. It’s not necessarily all about COVID-19, but this is the result of what we feel during this time. So there’s restlessness, loneliness, boredom, delirium, fear, uncertainty, and all that jazz.”

Among the tracks included in the upcoming album are two recently-released songs titled “Armageddon Blues” and “The Silence”.

“Armageddon Blues” stemmed from an old demo recorded by Nicolas and lead guitarist Chino Singson. It was originally written back in 2005. Meanwhile, co-lead vocals Jugs Jugueta worked with Nicolas on finishing the lyrics to “Silence”.

The upcoming effort comes seven years after their latest studio album “After All This Time”, which they independently released in 2013. Some of the band’s most popular hits include “‘Di Na Muli”, “Akin Ka Na Lang” and “Ayokong Tumanda”. NVG
