Jesse Matthewson commented:

“This album is the companion piece to 2022’s ‘Null‘ album. Both were written and produced at the same time, throughout the pandemic, and recorded by Andrew Schneider in the fall of 2021. The two-album arc was written with the intention of being two separate works that could be coupled together to make one full album.

‘Void‘ conveys the overwhelming sadness and disappointment of 2021, after the initial crazed shock of 2020. We saw our circumstances continue to be held up by the lowest common denominator, as we attempted to move forward with our lives.”

The effort’s latest single, “The Shrike,” can be streamed below. Matthewson added the following about that:

“It’s our version of a classic, driving rock song. Equal parts Drive Like Jehu and Queens of the Stone Age.”
