- Additional Info: Its been six years since La Dispute released their last album, Panorama. Since then, the Michigan post-hardcore bandmade up of Jordan Dreyer on vocals, Brad Vander Lugt on drums, Chad Morgan-Sterenberg and Corey Stroffolino on guitar, and Adam Vass on bassdealt with the stagnance of the pandemic, celebrated the ten-year anniversaries of Wildlife and Rooms Of The House, and began working on No One Was Driving The Car. The fifth studio LP is the first entirely produced by the group, and it came together in Grand Rapids and Detroit, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Philippines: I think the change in environment was really helpful to breathing new life into the process each time we came back to it, Dreyer says. Partly inspired by the 2017 psychological thriller First Reformed, No One Was Driving The Car reckons with malaise in the shadow of the looming apocalypse, which has noticeably been worsened by the advancement of tech. The title comes from a quote from a police officer Dreyer read in a news article about a lethal self-driving Tesla crash, an absurd event which raises questions about the amount of control we have in our own lives. In fourteen dynamic tracks, the band grapples with the existential topic and the human need to find comfort and a sense of security in an existence where were often thrust into chaos without permission. Dreyer yells with a more primal sense and sings in a more refined way, and the guitars have a sharper edge than ever before. As much as I dont enjoy the creative process because its taxing and often not fun, I also think its the most fun that I ever have, Dreyer contemplates. Its the revelations you make, the breakthroughs. Its banging your head against a wall and suddenly something clicks in a way that feels almost divine, like it came from somewhere else.
