New single “Kerosene” by Caleb L’Etoile

Virginia-based artist Caleb L’Etoile will release his new album American Death on June
20th. A dynamic, stylish sound spans from folk-forward introspection to ardent rock
heights, all set within themes of urgent poignancy. “It’s an anti-fascist album written
during, and heavily inspired by, a specific time in history and political events,” Caleb
says, describing the release as “about evil and greed, human rights, humanity, and
home.”

“The goal of the album was to make a ‘living’ album where I would build it as I go,
release the songs as I write them,” he explains. “I knew I felt a need to speak up in
relation to recent events but they were still unfolding, so an open ended album aimed to
be the right approach.”

Album finale “Kerosene” weaves panting percussion and escalating guitars —
immersing in both moments of biting rock intensity and harmonious vocals that ascend
into glimmering keys.

“This is probably my personal favorite moment of the album both lyrically and musically,”
Caleb says. “I was trying to make a plane crash sort of vibe in the second bit and I like
to think I succeeded. There’s some Shit Luck by Modest Mouse at work here,
Destroyer’s Rubies, and very much mewithoutyou for the end.”
