INTERCOURSE, the acclaimed Connecticut noise rock outfit, unleash their latest full-length, How I Fell in Love with the Void, a visceral and unflinching exploration of life's bleakest corners. Driven by frontman Tarek Ahmed's relentless obsession with creation and a self-deprecating wit, this album delves deeper into the societal ills and personal struggles that have defined their output since 2013. From the jaded introspection of "Another Song About the Sun" to the searing commentary on disenfranchisement in "Family Suicide Gun," How I Fell in Love with the Void is a raw, unvarnished look at the emptiness many attempt to fill, and the ultimate liberation found in accepting that void.

Recorded and produced by Chris Teti (The World Is A Beautiful Place and I Am No Longer Afraid To Die) and mastered by George Richter (Thy Will Be Done), How I Fell in Love with the Void finds INTERCOURSE at their most powerful and uncompromising. Tracks like the explosive opener "The Ballad of Max Wright" rip into scene politics and jealousy, while "Zoloft and Blow" offers a dark reflection on tragic celebrity. Complete with meticulous lyrical craft and an evocative cover by Sherilyn Furneaux, the album solidifies Intercourse's standing as the voice for "weirdos and freaks"—a defiant soundtrack for those on the outside looking in, intimately acquainted with the void and unburdened by its grip.
