Brooklyn’s finest emerging post punk band, Lathe of Heaven, are back to bend reality once more. Their new album, Aurora, arrives August 29th 2025 via Sacred Bones.
Born from improvisation, Aurora pulses with urgency. The newly dropped title track is the first taste, featuring crashing drums, shimmering guitars, and a chorus that bends the rules of time straight out of a fog-drenched eighties club, with singer Gage Allison’s vocals standing out.
The band comments: "A song loosely inspired by an Arthur C. Clarke short story called “If I Forget Thee, O Earth..." In the story a man and his son take a trip from their colony on the moon to a lookout point where Earth (long abandoned due to nuclear war) can be seen rising across the vast gulf of space. Playing with this concept, I took a more personal and romantic approach, exploring similar themes of loss, love, and devotion at the end of the world."
The accompanying video, directed by Devan Davies, spins a moody mix of arthouse cinema and glitchcore fever dreams.
