Post-punk trio WAY OUT delivered the world a swift sucker punch with their debut EP three years ago, and the tour de force blazes forth with their forthcoming debut album, titled Arc Of Descent. With a staunch lineup including Nick Sadler of Daughters, WAY OUT balances resolute musicality with buoyant, sun slicked melodies. Listen to their latest single, “Healer,” today.

Consisting of singer and guitarist Derek Knox, drummer Anna Wingfield, and bassist Nick Sadler (Daughters, Fang Island), WAY OUT’s sound leans heavy on a driving rhythm section interlaced with melodic guitar hooks reminiscent of post-punk greats Wire, Wipers, and early-era Cure.
Atomic Action! Records will release Arc Of Descent on August 10—in the midst of WAY OUT’s upcoming East Coast tour (dates can be found below). Preorders are available here.
