“[New Others Part One] instantly scratches the itch that TWDY‘s classics do, and it reminds you how diverse their palette of sounds is, from stuff that nears minimal electronic music to stuff that nears metal.” — BrooklynVegan/Invisible Oranges
This Friday, the instrumental/post-rock conjurors in THIS WILL DESTROY YOU will unleash their long-anticipated fifth full-length, New Others Part One, via Dark Operative.
In advance of its release, BrooklynVegan and Invisible Oranges have partnered to premiere the record in its compelling entirety. Hails the two esteemed blogs of the release, “[New Others Part One] instantly scratches the itch that TWDY‘s classics do, and it reminds you how diverse their palette of sounds is, from stuff that nears minimal electronic music to stuff that nears metal. It’s a gorgeous album that you can really lose yourself in…”
Lose yourself in THIS WILL DESTROY YOU’s New Others Part One via BrooklynVegan HERE or Invisible Oranges HERE.
Now comprised of core members Jeremy Galindo and Christopher King with the addition of drummer Robi Gonzalez, the seven-track New Others Part One was produced, engineered, and mixed by John Congleton, the man responsible for the sound of the band’s wildly popular self-titled sophomore album of ten years ago. New Others Part One captures the band in a familiar, but evolved ethos wherein the memorable, melodic component present in their early work once again soars atop new sonic territories for the band and listener alike.
New Others Part One will be available on CD, LP, and digitally September 28th. For preorders visit the Dark Operative store HERE and Bandcamp page HERE.
The LP edition of New Others Part One features the artwork and photography of band member Christopher King. Inside, purchasers will find a highly unusual extra insert featuring a QR code that will certainly take the bold on a journey involving their browser, their phone, and their full capacity for the esoteric. Exclusive vinyl colors are available through RevHQ (distro and mailorder), the band on tour, and Dark Operative’s own mailorder.
Following the album’s release, THIS WILL DESTROY YOU will kick off their North American headlining tour in Phoenix, Arizona. Set to commence October 16th, the journey will make its way through over two dozen cities upon its conclusion November 17th in San Diego, California. Support will be provided by Arizona rock unit Rotting Yellow, Illinois-based post-industrial sorcerer Steve Hauschildt, renowned New York cellist Clarice Jensen, and Oregon post-rock ensemble This Patch Of Sky on select dates.

Formed in the early ’00s, THIS WILL DESTROY YOU has spent the last decade and a half touring the planet relentlessly between recording studio albums and core members Jeremy Galindo and Chris King scoring various films, television, culinary, and other creative entertainment projects in their relative downtime. The band initially broke in the United Kingdom when their 2006 debut album Young Mountain was proclaimed “Album Of The Year” in Rock Sound by (then) editor Darren Taylor, igniting curiosity, interest, and touring opportunities unimaginable to that point.
2008’s self-titled album ushered in an era where the band truly grew a global fanbase, as the record remains their top-grossing title to date and the band was able to graduate to headliner status in large venues everywhere. Toward the end of the album’s initial cycle, Hollywood and the entertainment world at large came calling in a major way, largely sparked by Brad Pitt and director Bennett Miller’s passionate enthusiasm for the band. The duo initially paired THIS WILL DESTROY YOU‘s “The Mighty Rio Grande” to five crucial acts in 2011’s Moneyball, with “Villa Del Refugio” then going into Pitt’s subsequent World War Z and Miller’s next film Foxcatcher. The licensing landscape exploded from there, as the band and the first two albums were represented across all major sporting events (Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup, Wimbledon, ESPYS, et al), cultural shifts (the UFC’s rollout package for Ronda Rousey), Hollywood’s biggest night (see: Tom Cruise introducing the nominees and awarding “Best Picture” over “The Mighty Rio Grande” at the 2012 Oscars), and numerous Emmy-award winning dramas on television.
2011 saw a change in rhythm section and an experiment in the darker capacities of the band. Tunnel Blanket features the most raw and visceral material in the band’s catalog. The band stayed on the road (including a meaningful run in direct support of Deftones), issued a triple live album (2013’s Live In Reykjavik, Iceland), and began formulating what would become 2014’s Another Language album, an exemplar of the band and producer John Congleton’s studio prowess.
From 2016-2018, the band was able to successfully stage special tenth anniversary shows and tours celebrating Young Mountain and self-titled at high-capacity, sold out gigs around the globe, punctuated by being hand-picked by The Cure to perform in front of tens of thousands at the band’s fortieth anniversary concert in London’s historic Hyde Park. On the front end of that cycle, Galindo and King also managed to successfully pull off writing and recording the ambitious score to the most talked-about new restaurant of 2018, Los Angeles, Calfornia’s Vespertine.
“The track, which closes out the album, is a beautiful and somber exercise that uses piano and guitar alongside a bombastic drum section to create an emotional and powerful journey.” – Revolver on “Go Away Closer”
“…yet more proof that the band refuses to stagnate creatively. As far as post/instrumental rock is concerned, THIS WILL DESTROY YOU remain in the top tier.” — Svbterranean
