Erstwhile Titus Andronicus guitarist Liam Betson is returning next week with Austerity Measures, the second album he’s put out under his own name following 2014’s The Cover Of Hunter. Lead single “The Comedians” added some pressing synths to the mix, and new track “Mispronounced” continues expanding the sonic palette of his affectless, affecting indie rock, starting out with a droning hum that sounds vaguely like the Twin Peaks score before unfurling into a beautiful, weightless swirl of melody and rhythm. Listen below via Impose.

Austerity Measures is out 8/18 via Double Double Whammy. Pre-order it here.
