Spite House, have shared new single “Stale Change,” the track is off the Montreal band’s forthcoming album, Desertion, available September 12th via Pure Noise Records. “”Stale Change’ is a song about the emptiness of superficial transformation and the illusion of progress. The cycle of grief that spins and starts all over again with the learnings of the past that should feel useful while not helping at all and the dichotomy between being brought into the same old negative feelings of guilt and shame while trying to move on and forward at the same time.”

Desertion explores grief with uncommon vulnerability as Lajoie depicts the immense pain and complicated emotions around the unexpected passings of both his parents. “When I was 17, my dad passed away from suicide,” he says. “Then ten years later my mom called me to tell me she had cancer, and ten days later she passed..Desertion is more about how these tragedies have informed so much of my life–it’s about trying to look them in the eye and reassess them as an adult. I want to move past them but I also want to take some kind of lesson from them.”
