Moviola will release their new album on Earthbound on August 29th via Dromedary Records. Ahead of the LP’s release, the band have shared lead single “Slage Wave,” acconpanied by Jake Housh directed video.

From Greg Bonnell:

“The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell. Birth, school, work, death—not necessarily in that order. Fight the power with guitars.”

The “Slage Wave” video, shot and edited by Jake Housh, transforms the age-old question “Which side are you on?” into a darkly comic scene at a hot dog stand ruled by a domineering boss and his “management by iPad.” Featuring union organizing, the ghost of Johnny Paycheck, surreal humor, and a hint of heartbreak, the video stars the band in a world just one step off from our own.

Moviola was Founded by Jake Housh in 1993 in a duplex near Ohio State. Throughout their early career, they have played shows with Fruit Bats, Flaming Lips, Calexico, Califone, and Guided By Voices and many more. Frequent split singles paired them with friends like The Handsome Family, Cobra Verde, Tobin Sprout, Hiss Golden Messenger, and Eric’s Trip. Later records—Rumors of the Faithful (2001), East of Eager (2004), Dead Knowledge (2007), as well as the singles compilation Broken Horses (2008), Scrape and Cuss (2019), and Broken Rainbows (2022)—chart a path to Earthbound.

Each member contributes songs. Recorded in Columbus, Brooklyn, and Brattleboro, Vermont.
