"Never Exhale" - DITZ on a continuous run

DITZ are a band that never stands still. Since their debut "The Great Regression", they have been on tour non-stop - often over 100 days a year. The songs for their new album Never Exhale were created on the road, written on days off in borrowed rehearsal rooms across Europe. Many songs were rehearsed live long before they were recorded.

The plan was to record in Rhode Island, but a support slot for IDLES took them to Holy Mountain Studios in London instead - in freezing January. Despite all the detours, Seth Manchester (Lingua Ignota, Big Brave, among others) mixed the album. The result is a work that has grown under its own pressure: hard, demanding, but never indifferent.

The lyrics reveal themselves over time: "Taxi Man" opens as a reflection on influence and transience, while other songs deal with topics such as division ("Space/Smile"), ageing ("Señor Siniestro") or alienation from one's own body ("The Body As A Structure"). Political - but deeply personal. More Genet or Kafka than Orwell or Huxley.

Musically, DITZ remains true to noise rock (The Jesus Lizard, Shellac) and post-punk (The Fall), but opens up to new worlds of sound. The closing track "Britney" is reminiscent of Radiohead or Mogwai - a preview of what is yet to come.
