Pure Reason Revolution recently announced that their fifth studio album, Above Cirrus, will be released on May 6 via InsideOutMusic. The is the follow-up to 2020’s Eupnea, which was the band’s first record since reuniting in 2019.

This time around, Jon Courtney, Chloë Alper & Greg Jong (who returns as a full-time member for the first time since the Cautionary Tales For The Brave EP) find themselves adapting to a world that is radically changing before their eyes, and on this new record, exorcising the isolation and uncertainty in search of something greater.

Today the band are launching a brand new single titled ‘Phantoms’. Watch the video, once again created by Thomas Hicks, below.

Jon Courtney comments: “This song came together very quickly & is probably the most electronic track on the record; using pulses from my JUNO 2 into doom riffs, while also displaying our signature vocals. Looking forward to seeing PRR fans rock &  simultaneously awkwardly dance to this! We’ll be doing the same from the stage.”

Greg Jong adds on the tour: “We're getting very excited about the tour, there is fabulous music we've made that's practically begging to be played live — I mean, we've completed two full-length records in the last couple of years, yet it's amazing to me that we haven't played a single gig in all that time! It's going to be really cool to bring these songs to an actual in-person audience, I know everyone is going to enjoy the shows so much."

The album will be released as Limited CD, Gatefold LP+CD & as Digital Download, featuring beautiful cover artwork by artist Jill Tegan Doherty, who previously created the cover for Eupnea.
