.puptheband are releasing their new album this week. We spent with them in Toronto where they described how by unraveling, they've arrived at a new place of what being in a band means to them
Through it all, PUP has made their name as a band that is nothing if not brutally honest. Honest about themselves, about anxiety and depression and the ever-suffocating hubris of society as it closes in around us. Lest you think that it sounds like a lot to take in, there exists in the throughlines of their work a delicate and well-worn heart.
For a band that’s gone through much of their career with a non-stop touring schedule, the silver-lining of the spell of time spent off the road was the opportunity to work on new PUP songs with no clear time constraint surrounding the process. “Having that freedom in the house,” Babcock continues. “The first song on the record that sets up the whole thing — that was never supposed to be a real song.”The song in reference is a piano ballad, called “Four Chords” that reoccurs three times throughout, their new record . The impromptu tunes are winking dirges that play at a fictional board of directors and budget constraints on PUP as a corporate entity.
“I think it’s both,” Mykula leans forward as he speaks. “This is the first time I’ve been able to sit back and recognize that I have some skills.”“I like that perspective,” Babcock adds. “[Mykula]’s pretty insightful, sometimes you’re like ‘Stefan meant this by these songs’ and I think ‘No, but that’s way better.’”“I think definitely there’s been some unraveling,” Sladkowski says, unmuting himself on Zoom to dive in. “Things can unravel even when you don’t expect them to.
Babcock leans back and stretches his arms wide before capping it off. “I think it’s nice to create something that — regardless of external validation — you feel is like the best thing you could have created at that moment.”
