Out today: IF IT KILLS YOU - Invisible Self


Invisible Self, the second full-length album by Bakersfield, California band If It Kills You, is out today.

Produced by Jim Ward of At The Drive-In and Sparta, Invisible Self is an immersive experience: nine intense, radiant songs whose emotional weight and ironclad songcraft bear traces of Ward's bands as well as Quicksand, Hum, and Drive Like Jehu (whose song "If It Kills You" inspired the band name).

"'Invisible Self' was produced by Jim Ward of Sparta and At the Drive In and opening track 'Parallel Lines' features guest guitar by Shelby Cinca of Frodus. They're clearly in great company, and it's no surprise that greats like Jim and Shelby wanted to work with them; 'Parallel Lines' is a genuinely great song with a big, soaring hook that really rivals the '90s bands who influenced it."
–BrooklynVegan

"The vocalist is reminiscent of Walter Schreifels [and] that last Quicksand record... Did you dig that record? I did, and I dig this."
–Decibel

“If you’re looking for atmospheric post-hardcore packed with dissonant guitar hooks and big vocal melody lines, If It Kills You should take care of that itch.”
–No Echo

“The new record by If It Kills You is post-hardcore at its most exuberant. It features nine chiseled, shimmering songs…”
–The Big Takeover

"Produced by Jim Ward of At The Drive-In and Sparta... Soaked in intensity and radiance."
–New Noise
