Tiny Engines is excited to announce the long-awaited return of Charlotte, NC's ever-elusive and often-mysterious It Looks Sad. The label will release the band's highly anticipated debut full-length album, Sky Lake, in November of 2018. It is the outfit's first new material since 2015's Kaiju. The album was recorded with Calvin Lauber (Julien Baker's 'Turn Out The Lights') in Memphis earlier this year and marks a triumphant return to the It Looks Sad's inspired, enigmatic brand of indie pop while also delving into more experimental, avant-garde noisescapes.
