Activity, recently announced their album entitled A Thousand Years In Another Way, will drop on June 6th, 2025 on Western Vinyl. The LP was recorded with producer Jeff Berner (from Psychic TV and Shilpa Ray).

The album announcement rrived with the single “In Another Way,” the track is paired with a video directed by Steven Levine, who up until recently played drums with the band. The current lineup of Activity features vocalist and guitarist Travis Johnson (from Grooms), bassist Bri DiGioia, guitarist Jess Rees (from Russian Baths), and new drummer Brian Alvarez (from The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Peel Dream Magazine) has since joined after A Thousand Years In Another Way was recorded.

“In Another Way” opens the album, introducing its central themes of alienation and longing, framing a narrative about a person struggling with chaos while seeking meaningful connection. The song’s raw energy serves as a fitting entry point into the record’s unsteady, transformative world.

According to Travis Johnson, “In Another Way” is “a way of letting off a bunch of aggression, rage, and resentment at things not being the way they should be, both personal and global (wishing things were “another way”), and feeling completely impotent about it except when playing the song.”

Regarding the video, Johnson shares: “It was shot in a neighborhood hangout, Film Noir Cinema. The owner is a big obscure movie and music guy and it seemed perfect. Also, one of my favorite movies is Mulholland Drive, and it seemed fun to do a reference to the Club Silencio scene as a nod to David Lynch following his passing.”
