Boston Emo band Bicycle Inn have released their new album, Long in the Tooth, their first new music in two years. It’s ambitious and covers a lot of thematic territory.

The band shares:

Long in the Tooth is about the traps of hero worship, the depths of religious trauma, and the desert of being caught up in the realization that this perfect world you’ve created in your head never truly existed at all. This is an album about the un-learning process you embark on after being freed from idealism. You’ve become older in every way possible. You’re aware of the loose earth beneath your feet—how easily you can slip and spiral out of control.

Recorded over two sessions with Gary Cioni at Soundacres Studio (Hot Mulligan, Free Throw, Prince Daddy & The Hyena) during 2023 and 2024, Long in the Tooth features guest appearances from Ryan O’Rourke (Innerlove.), Kyle Kinney (Excuse Me, Who Are You?), and Maggie Ciora.
