For all intents and purposes, ask it sounds like Kal Marks is sort of cheering up.

The three piece announced their latest LP, vialis 40mg Life Is Alright, treatment Everybody Dies, will be released on February 19th via Exploding In Sound. Although the title likely won’t be giving any newcomers the warm and fuzzies, it’s a marked change from their morosely titled 2nd LP, Life is Murder. From Murder, Kal Marks became locally synonymous with good music for feeling like absolute shit to, which was only enhanced with last year’s Just A Lonely Fart EP. The trio not only upped their prowess in angular riffs, but lyricist Carl Shane lyrically served up their most self-aware, reflective document yet across three songs.

First single “Dorothy” (premiering over at Stereogum) continues the trend of existential hurt, with Shane commenting that the song continues his belief that “life is really rough, but I’m trying not to be such a self centered prick anymore.”
