After hinting at a greater return last month, Two Hours Traffic have detailed their first release since 2013. The East Coast indie rockers will share new EP I Never See You Anymore on May 23.
The six-song I Never See You Anymore was recorded in 2024 at Joel Plaskett's Fang Recording in Dartmouth, NS, and at various friends' studios on PEI. It's the first recorded effort from Two Hours Traffic since 2013 album Foolish Blood.
The EP's title reflects the reality of no longer being a touring band. As bassist and producer Andy MacDonald explains, "Every time we made our way across Canada, and even on our trips to Europe, Australia, and the US, we'd run into friends and musicians we couldn't wait to see. Once we split up, it slowly dawned on us that we wouldn't be seeing most of these people regularly again."
Previously shared single "Keep It Coming" appears in the tracklist, and is followed today by "On the Spot," one of the first songs the quartet began work on.
"I wanted to go back to basics and write a high-energy song that would have fit into our sets back in the early 2000s," the band's Liam Corcoran shares of the song. "The acoustic guitar off the top, the driving rhythm section, lots of electric guitar hooks... as the song started to come together, it reminded us of the old days in an exciting way."
