Joyce Manor Announce Their New Album ’40 Oz. To Fresno’ And Unleash The Searing Single ‘Gotta Let It Go’

It’s been about four years since Joyce Manor‘s last album, Million Dollars To Kill Me. Since then, they’ve reworked old material and dug up unreleased songs with Songs From Northern Torrance, as well as remade their crashing 2011 self-titled debut in honor of its ten-year anniversary. Today, they’ve finally returned with brand new music, announcing their sixth studio album 40 Oz. To Fresno. The single “Gotta Let It Go” is out today.

“Gotta Let It Go” is an invigorating, building anthem that shows frontman Barry Johnson using his voice to his advantage by yelling, singing, and even coming close to screaming. 40 Oz. To Fresno was produced by Rob Schnapf, who also produced Cody, and the band recruited Motion City Soundtrack’s Tony Thaxton on the drums.

“This album makes me think of our early tours, drinking a 40 in the van on a night drive blasting Guided By Voices and smoking cigarettes the whole way to Fresno,” Johnson stated.

Watch the video for the searing “Gotta Let It Go” above. Check out the 40 Oz. To Fresno artwork and tracklist below, as well as the band’s upcoming tour dates.
