Static Dress have announced their new album, injury episode, out May 29 via Sumerian Records.
injury episode was teased last night in front of a group of fans during a screening of their self-directed short film, where no phones were allowed to “cut out the noise and let the art speak.” The album is a critique of society’s focus on quick, algorithm-driven content — a theme Static Dress began exploring on “human props.”

On their new single “Nostalgia Kills” from injury episode, rock veterans Underoath join Static Dress on what feels like a generational handoff. The high-energy, post-hardcore song features vocalist Olli Appleyard delivering an intense, confrontational exchange, with Underoath revisiting a style reminiscent of their 2006 album, Define the Great Line.
The video for “Nostalgia kills” is a continuation of the story explored in “human props,” depicting the same twins who are being operated on for the special qualities they were admired for.
