LANDOWNER SHARE "NORMAL RETURNS TO NORMAL" SINGLE

Posted on February 3rd, 2026

Landowner recently announced their upcoming full-length, Assumption, arriving February 27th via Exploding In Sound Records, and today they're back with another cut of abrasively clean, minimalist punk, "Normal Returns To Normal."

Landowner operates with a unique set of parameters: distortion-free guitars, an airtight rhythm section, and vocalist Dan Shaw's observations on the systems, mindsets, and dark absurdities that entangle and complicate our lives. The result is a truly one-of-a-kind band that's undeniably strange and unexpectedly catchy in equal measure. Lead single "Rival Males" (which drew attention from Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, and more) was a concise introduction to Assumption, and now "Normal Returns To Normal" stretches out over six minutes, turning the intensely precise band and vocalist Dan Shaw's incisive lyricism into a hypnotically satisfying endurance test.
