Happy Friday, guys & dolls! Generationals have shared the head-turner of a video for their latest single "I Turned My Back on the Written Word". Earlier this month the band announced the release of their forthcoming record, Reader As Detective, out July 19. They celebrated their return with on an unmissable surprise performance on late night television program Fresh Fridays.

Reader As Detective is the result of purposeful time spent honing Generationals’ craft as progressive songwriters. With the help of producer and longtime collaborator Dan Black, the band dug into new methods of creation with a fearlessness for experimentation that is equally vital to the experience of both artist and listener. With Reader As Detective, Generationals have reached a high-water mark in an already noteworthy career – isolation and celebration set to a major key.

Pre-order an exclusive first pressing from the Polyvinyl Store on 180-Gram Color-in-Color on Pink & Clear featuring a die-cut jacket. Take Fresh Fridays' word for it and do not miss the band on tour beginning in August. Tickets onsale right meow ~
