Death From Above 1979 release “Private Lives” on 29 January 2027. It’s the Toronto duo’s fifth album and the title track is already out. The North American tour that goes with it falls in February and March.
The previous one, “Is 4 Lovers”, came out on 26 March 2021: five years and ten months between the two. In between came the 2024 tour, marking both twenty years of “You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine” and ten of “The Physical World”.
“Playing the old songs every day really inspires you to want to make something new,” says Jesse F. Keeler on how that tour led to this record. “Our band has always been a balance of sweet and sour. Heavy music that’s also tender and playful. We’re really cooking when we lean into those contradictions.”
Keeler and Sebastien Grainger formed the band in 2001.
