The album, produced by Will Yip (Turnstile, Title Fight, Mannequin Pussy) and mixed by Rich Costey (Fiona Apple, My Chemical Romance, Vampire Weekend), showcases the toxic and antagonistic band channeling their aggression through a more expansive version of themselves. "Are We All Angels" has already caught the attention of notable international music journalists.
On "Are We All Angels," the band explores ambitious new directions at every turn and bends genre norms. Kat Moss plays with harmonies and melodic sensitivity that is sure to surprise even the most die-hard Scowl fans. She cites a wide range of influences outside of hard rock - everything from Billie Eilish to Radiohead, Car Seat Headrest to Julien Baker. "Most of us really weren't practiced musicians when the band started," she admits. "It was very Germs-esque in that regard, like the first hardcore band of a baby, which is great. But now we might still not know what we're doing, but we have a better idea of what we want to do."
Instrumentally, the band cites influences from Negative Approach, Bad Brains, Hole, Mudhoney, Garbage, Ramones, Pixies, Sonic Youth, and others. Bassist Bailey Lupo notes: "The songwriting for the new record was the most collaborative in Scowl's history. Everyone brought so many ideas, and we were able to analyze them all calmly and take our time. We all have eclectic musical tastes, influences, and personalities, and you can really hear that in every corner of this album."
Even through this eclectic approach, Scowl loses none of their edge and still manages to convey the anger and frustration that lies beneath. They are deeply committed to punk and, by extension, its sense of community. "Hardcore and punk have shaped how we work, what we want to do as a band, and how we engage," says Greene. "At our core, we are a punk and hardcore band, no matter how the song changes."
