San Francisco’s Spiritual Cramp have announced their self-titled debut album, which will be out November 3 via Blue Grape Music. The album was produced by the band’s Michael Bingham and Michael Fenton, and was mixed by Carlos de la Garza (Paramore, M83), who also provided additional production.
The new single from the album is “Talkin’ on the Internet,” a groovy number that mixes new wave, 2000s-style garage rock and online fatigue. “’Talkin’ On The Internet’ is about me projecting and realizing that I can’t stop posting cringe after seeing so many of my musician peers ruin their bands for me by posting bullshit all the time,” says Bingham. “I do the same thing and feel embarrassed seeing bands I like posting dumb shit. It makes me want to stop playing music. It makes me want to bury my head in the sand.”

Spiritual Cramp will be on tour with Teenage Wrist starting next week, and they’ll play NYC’s Brooklyn Made on 9/21, with Trauma Ray also on the bill. They’ve also got dates with Militarie Gun, Soft Kill and more. Check out all upcoming dates below.
