They're back! Finally! The great Philadelphia hardcore expressionists Soul Glo made a huge leap with the release of their breakout album Diaspora Problems, one of the best of 2022. That was almost five years ago. Since then, Soul Glo have played tons of sick shows. They released the one-off single "If I Speak (Shut The Fuck Up)." They started the first Tiny Desk moshpit. Frontman Pierce Jordan rapped on an Armand Hammer record and launched the side project Commitment, whose debut album Fear Of came out earlier this year. Now, at long last, Soul Glo have another LP on the way.
Early next year, Soul Glo will release NA I’M GON GRAB ALLAT, the new full-length that they recorded at Philadelphia's Foto Club. Pierce Jordan dedicates the album to "everyone who has known the joy and pain of loving a man. All different types of love: platonic, romantic, familial, self." It's got a ton of guests, including TV On The Radio's Tunde Adebimpe, Oxbow's Eugene Robinson, Commitment’s Tati Salazar, indie rap stars MIKE and Bbymutha, and Mannequin Pussy's Colins "Bear" Regisford. Regisford and his Mannequin Pussy bandmates also star in the wild, unpredictable video for opening track "February Theory."
"February Theory" is a chaotic punk slasher with an out-of-nowhere footwork breakdown, and it's about the pattern of Pierce Jordan going through breakups every February. Soul Glo are back in full-on freakout form on this one, which has backup vocals from Tati Salazar. In the video, something terrible happens when Jordan and Regisford go out to dinner together, and we watch the consequences unfold. Below, check out the video and the NA I’M GON GRAB ALLAT tracklist.
