"Punchlove started from a small bedroom project and graduated into this majorly evocative, eclectic force of guitar-piling nature." - Paste Magazine
You can’t talk to me that way. With an expulsive new single “(sublimate)”, Jillian Olesen issues a warning. Nearly a year after their acclaimed debut album release, Channels, NYC noise-pop merchants Punchlove return with an outcry from beneath the crushing digital detritus of the data age and a declaration of commitment to escaping from its myriad confines. Inspired by Olesen’s perception-altering experiences following a lengthy period of digital and physical self-isolation, “(sublimate)” chronicles the feelings of entrapment and suffocation within a reality that is inextricably bound by the powerful grip of the digital world. “(sublimate)” showcases a near-compulsory attempt to regain a long-lost sense of humanity.
“(sublimate)” is out now and Punchlove is touring in real life, playing Baby's All Right on February 5, on tour in Europe starting February 12th and touring the US with Lucid Express. All dates below.
