Cathedral Ceilings new album La La La…Whatever was recorded and co-produced by Tom Beaujour (Nada Surf). The album follows “Thanks for the Guitar, Mommy” came out on Dromedary in 2020. They followed that up with another single, “I’m A Band!” and their debut LP, Summer of Misguided Dynamite in the summer of 2022. Cathedral Ceilings plays DromFest ’24 taking place August 31st-September 2nd in Catskill, New York.

The album’s lead single, “My CEO,” showcases the band’s knack for blending sharp commentary with infectious hooks. The track is a love song. “But not in the typical romantic partner sense,” says guitarist Ralphie Malanga. “This is a love song about money, and how it can cloud a person’s identity, trajectory, and moral standing. It’s about how people turn a blind eye to the evil wrongdoings of their bosses or the companies they work for, in order to pay rent, or pay back their student loans. I almost feel bad for these people who tackle the moral dilemma of working for Raytheon, Halliburton, or the Trump org. Almost. The three of us play on this song with a kill or be killed mindset. Rip them off, before they rip us off. The main riff was ripped off from Cheap Trick. Which they ripped off from The Move. Lie. Cheat. Steal. Smile. Repeat.”
