"Remember Viet Cong? Shh, you’re not supposed to say that, or use that name, or whatever. Well, if you didn’t know, the Canadian post-punk rockers now go by Preoccupations, a moniker that should cause no controversy (unless there’s a rabid preoccupier out there who’s prone to being triggered), and they’re back with a new self-titled album.
Produced by Graham Walsh, Preoccupations spans nine one-word songs, ranging from ANXIETY
” to “Monotony”, “Degraded” to “Fever”. As frontman Matt Flegel explains: “Monotony is a dead end job;ANXIETY is changing as a band. Memory is watching someone lose their mind; Fever is comforting someone. It’s all drawing from very specific things.”

The band’s own press release calls the album “a singular, bracing collection that proves what’s punishing can also be soothing, everything can change without disrupting your compass. Your best year can be your worst year at the same time. Whatever sends you flying can also help you land.” French fries can be tater tots, life can be death, we get it."
