New Album Never Exhale
Never Exhale promises to be a significant evolution for the band, described as “the sound of a band that hasn’t stopped for a breath.” Known for tackling personal and political themes, DITZ explore topics such as unnecessary hatred, division, and personal struggles. Their signature raw, noise-rock sound remains, but listeners will hear new dimensions in tracks like ‘Space/Smile’ and the Radiohead-esque closing track ‘Britney’.
Vocalist C.A. Francis (they/them) commented on the album’s energy, saying:
“It’s all about the escalation. ‘Space/Smile’ is the shortest track on the album, but it still carries that intensity we’ve become known for.”
Recorded largely in Holy Mountain Studios, London, and mixed by Seth Manchester (Model/Actriz, Lingua Ignota), Never Exhale was born out of the relentless pace of their touring life, with many songs written and performed live before making it to the studio.
