Now, they have dropped another taster of the new LP with the heartfelt single ‘Supersweetness’, which sees frontman Sam McTrusty enlist the help of his young daughters on backing vocals.

Speaking about the track, the singer shared: “Every song is a love song really, but this one is about the bittersweet feeling of adoring my children until the point where it makes me feel ill.” He also added that it was inspired by that overwhelming feeling of “loving something so much that it actually hurts”.

As for the album itself, ‘Separation From The Animals’ marks the follow-up to 2024’s ‘Meltdown’ and is the first time that all four founding members have recorded together on a Twin Atlantic record for years.

It is set to see them at their most raw and exposed, and was written following McTrusty starting a new life in Toronto with wife and two kids.

“I’m from a family that’s fairly divided, so I’ve always been passed about from when I was six-months- old.

It’s all I’ve ever known,” he said, adding that his life’s trauma has informed all of his songs in one way or another.

“As you grow up, you start to view life through a different lens – especially the whole struggle of going from boy to man.

“My experience of that is particularly painful, emotional and confusing.

But because it seemed normal at the time, it didn’t really hit me until I found my tribe, my people, my band.

My entire adult life is meant to have been looking ahead but my personal life is always looking back.
