Words by Emily Mules
Today saw the announcement of the new Male Bonding album Endless Now, due for release via Sub Pop on August 29. Produced by the irrefutable John Angello (Kurt Vile, Thurston Moore, Dinosaur Jr. – need we go on?) and recorded at Dreamland Studios in upstate New York, Endless Now is destined to be one of the most eagerly awaited follow-up records of the year.
We caught up with the band whilst out at Primavera. Listen below to find what they had to say about playing their biggest ever show, the new album and what it was like meeting Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker in a lift.
