'Motivated by their frustration at the bilious 2016 pres. campaign cycle & the fury & urgency of the burgeoning BLM mvmt, the band reemerged w/ a fiery reunion a couple weeks before the election, but they didn’t have plans for it to be an ongoing thing.'
. “It was never a popular band, and about half the people that remember it do so because of how much they hated us.”
Six years later, Racetraitor are still going strong. During the Trump years, they gave us two EPs, and 2018’s is a brutal, brilliant album that packs a lot of two-fisted wisdom into its short running time. In 2020 they also organized a massive compilation album with almost 50 artists across multiple underground genres and released a self-titled split EP with Neckbeard Deathcamp, Closet Witch, and Haggathorn.
Racetraitor are currently working on a new record. Mostofi tells me by email that it’s a concept album inspired by their lives and travels, and that it will include more diverse instrumentation as well as musical and political influences informed by the members’ experiences in various parts of the globe. When the pandemic hit, Racetraitor were nearly done with tracking, and lockdown gave them room to envision the songs in a bigger and more ambitious way.
