The emblematic 90s US indie rock band is back! With I Hate Music, the quartet once again demonstrates their virtuosity in crafting irresistible rock anthems. This tenth album is released on their own label, Merge Records. Both aggressive and full of energy, the album also has a very dark side. Singer Mac evokes the people he has lost and misses. These people haunt his lyrics in an extremely sentimental, angry, and cathartic way. In the end, it's an album dedicated more to love than to hate—the love of life, the love of living, the love for people, and despite the title, the love for music.
