"It’s been six years since La Dispute released their last album, Panorama. Since then, the
Michigan post-hardcore band—made up of Jordan Dreyer on vocals, Brad Vander Lugt on
drums, Chad Morgan-Sterenberg and Corey Stroffolino on guitar, and Adam Vass on
bass—dealt with the stagnance of the pandemic, celebrated the ten-year anniversaries of
Wildlife and Rooms Of The House, and began working on No One Was Driving The Car. The
fifth studio LP is the first entirely produced by the group, and it came together in Grand Rapids
and Detroit, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Philippines: “I think the change in
environment was really helpful to breathing new life into the process each time we came back to
it,” Dreyer says.
Partly inspired by the 2017 psychological thriller First Reformed, No One Was Driving The Car
reckons with malaise in the shadow of the looming apocalypse, which has noticeably been
worsened by the advancement of tech. The title comes from a quote from a police officer Dreyer
read in a news article about a lethal self-driving Tesla crash, an absurd event which raises
questions about the amount of control we have in our own lives. In fourteen dynamic tracks, the
band grapples with the existential topic and the human need to find comfort and a sense of
security in an existence where we’re often thrust into chaos without permission. Dreyer yells
with a more primal sense and sings in a more refined way, and the guitars have a sharper edge
than ever before. “As much as I don’t enjoy the creative process because it’s taxing and often
not fun, I also think it’s the most fun that I ever have,” Dreyer contemplates. “It’s the revelations
you make, the breakthroughs. It’s banging your head against a wall and suddenly something
clicks in a way that feels almost divine, like it came from somewhere else.” - bio by Danielle Chelosky
