About Preoccupations

Art rock

Canadian indie

Dance-punk

Preoccupations' beautifully rough version of post-punk is equally life-affirming and well-versed in existential dread. The band's debut album, 2015's Viet Cong, mixed post-punk, psych-pop, shoegaze, noise, and electronics in fearless ways that nevertheless maintained a very human pulse. This connection to their humanity remained on all of their albums, though Preoccupations' music became subtler and more open-ended on 2016's self-titled album, more anthemic on 2018's poised New Material, and more confrontational on 2022's Arrangements.
