Nate here—I wanted to share something I've been working on for a few years now, which is... being in a band and recording an album. I wanted to announce it here because, frankly, there's zero chance I would be making music if it weren't for Trashfuture and our supporters. Our band is called Second Homes, the album is called Find a Way to Hate It, and it was produced by friend of the show (and Bottlemen alumnus) Dan Boeckner.
The record is available for preorder on Bandcamp and will release in full on 5th May. You can stream 5 of the 9 tracks for free on Bandcamp, and once it's released you can also stream it for free. If you want to purchase it, you'll get the lossless 24-bit / 48khz audio files, the liner notes, and some additional material we're currently assembling.
To emphasize how important TF has been to this process: many of you have met my bandmate Sapheen Meran, since he's helped me with live sound at TF / KJB / LLBD shows in London. What you probably don't know is that I actually met Sapheen at a TF show in early 2023, which led to us working together. We tracked some of our earliest demos at the TF studio, and if it weren't for the experience of making and producing this show (let alone having the space to experiment creatively), none of this would have been possible.
So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for being a fan of TF. If you do choose to give this a try, I really hope you enjoy it. You all are the reason I was able to make this happen. Which also by extension means that, if you absolutely despise this record, it's also your fault.
With love, and with a degree of sincerity that makes me slightly uncomfortable,
Nate + the TF cast
