Operators, have revealed, Radiant Dawn, the trio’s new full-length, will be out this May 17th via Last Gang Records. Ahead of the album’s release, the group have shared the lead-track, “Faithless.” Radiant Dawn was written and recorded throughout 2018 and early 2019 in Montreal and Vancouver Island. Arcade Fire’s Tim Kingsbury played bass on Low Life, the album’s closing track. The album was co-produced by Wolf Parade’s Arlen Thompson, as well as up and coming Montreal engineer, Napster Vertigo (who also produced the album). Radiant Dawn was mastered by the Lodge’s Emily Lazar (on the heels of her 2019 Grammy® award win).

Operators is a Montreal based project. The band released an EP (EP1) in 2014, and released their first LP (Blue Wave) in 2016, via Last Gang Records. While recording their sophomore LP, the members of the band kept busy with a series of other endeavors, including the promotional cycle around Wolf Parade’s Cry Cry Cry LP, a series of performances in which Operators played material from the Handsome Furs catalog.

Operators also recently announced an extensive North American summer tour, kicking off May 28th at Chicago’s Lincoln Hall, with stops across western Canada through June, and hitting venues across the US through July. You’ll be able to catch their electric live set when they headline LA’s Teragram Ballroom, NYC’s Bowery Ballroom, and more.
