Upcoming Releases

Ontario-based emo post-rock band New Design announced the upcoming release of their second full-length album, titled Keepsake. Listen to the title track out now and watch the music video below.

“Keepsake is about memory, longing, and regret. It's about a yearning for something once lost that will never be whole again.”

Produced by Kyle Marchant (Silverstein, Boys Night Out, and more), the album blends the expressive style of early emo with the sweeping, atmospheric soundscapes of post-rock that New Design is known for and brought to life at their shows.

Drawing inspiration from American Football, Moneen, Moving Mountains, and Toe, New Design blends the atmosphere and emotion of their respective genres to bring listeners dynamic soundscapes, memorable melodies, and heartfelt lyrics. New Design released their first album Far From Home in 2015. This was followed by “Where I Need To Be” in 2019 and the EP’s b-sides “What Was Left Unsaid” in 2020 through independent record label Sunday Drive Records. They have toured across Canada and the United States and have opened for notable bands, including Prawn, Foxing, The Reign of Kindo, Tricot, and Don Ross.
