Just over two years removed from the release of their 'The Missing Man' EP, American alternative rockers AFI have released two new songs – 'Twisted Tongues' and 'Escape From Los Angeles'.
With each song produced by the band's own Jade Puget and mixed by Tony Hoffer (M83, Phoenix, Silversun Pickups), AFI will also release a limited edition 7" vinyl featuring both tracks.“As I recall, 'Twisted Tongues' came of the Blood era [self-titled 2017 album] and was the first piece of music we explored on the new album," vocalist Davey Havok explains.
"The dreaminess of the music lyrically inspired themes of unforeseen severance. It is a pining song of being set adrift by those who once feigned to share the same anchors."
"Anyone who knows our catalog knows that no two records really sit together," adds guitarist Jade Puget.
"Some sit a little closer, maybe. We do certain things, just by virtue of who we are, that are consistent, but those things come about organically.
"Every time we do something, I have to judge it on its own merits. Some fans are going to judge a new album, or a new song, based on what's come before. But as artists, we can't do that, because it would only hinder our creativity."
