It's been six years since La Dispute released their last album, "Panorama". Since then, the Michigan post-hardcore band dealt with the stagnance of the pandemic, celebrated the ten-year anniversaries of "Wildlife" and "Rooms Of The House", and began working on their fifth studio LP "No One Was Driving The Car", the first entirely produced by the group.
Partly inspired by the 2017 psychological thriller "First Reformed", "No One Was Driving The Car" reckons with malaise in the shadow of the looming apocalypse, which has noticeably been worsened by the advancement of tech. The title comes from a quote from a police officer vocalist Jordan Dreyer read in a news article about a lethal self-driving Tesla crash, an absurd event which raises questions about the amount of control we have in our own lives.
In fourteen dynamic tracks, the band grapples with the existential topic and the human need to find comfort and a sense of security in an existencewhere we're often thrust into chaos without permission.
