The Skinny: After releasing 2009’s The Spotless Mind and 2011’s EP Qualia, Oregon’s math rockers Icarus The Owl are pleased to announce their brand new album Love Always, Leviathan. The Stephan Hawkes produced full-length will be released June 21st and will contain twelve tracks of technical pop-punk. The second single off Love Always, Leviathon, “What We Had Was Never Love”, is now being sold on Bandcamp.

Joey Rubenstein commented on the sound of the album by saying: “This album still has all the main attributes of Icarus The Owl. It is still very technical with odd time signatures, tap guitar, poly-rhythms among other aspects. ‘Love Always, Leviathan’ is our most technical work to date, but also our poppyest. The songs differ vastly track to track, ranging from everything between quirky pop songs to heavier technical songs. The last two tracks are both over six and a half minutes long, which is definitely something new for us.”
