Supergroup Gone Is Gone have announced details of their second album, If Everything Happens For A Reason… Then Nothing Really Matters At All.

The follow-up to 2017's debut album Echolocation will be released on December 4 via Clouds Hill. To mark today's announcement, the band have released an official video for new track Breaks.

Having been written and worked over the past three years, the 2020 lockdown allowed Gone Is Gone (Mastodon's Troy Sanders, QOTSA's Troy Van Leeuwen, At The Drive-In's Tony Hajjar and composer Mike Zarin) to fully commit and finish their second full-length.

“I definitely had some strong ideas coming into this record," says Tony. "My idea was to make a record that could be played by all of us in a certain fashion or even just one of us with some electronics. I really wanted the record to live in many forms. We feel that we accomplished that… It is a record that pushed us creatively. We expressed ourselves fully without any barriers or fear of what people would think.”

“I feel it is our most solid and interesting release to date," adds Troy Sanders. "As musicians, we always seek to explore new sounds and push ourselves to create unique moods and atmospheres. In our eyes and ears, we have achieved this.”
