SINNER GET READY is Lingua Ignota’s fourth studio album, released on August 6, 2021.
Lingua Ignota first mentioned a new album in an Instagram post on January 30, 2021, stating that it would be “coming later this year.” Exactly two month later, on March 30, 2021, she tweeted: SINNER GET READY is the title of the new record.
On June 17, 2021, the lead single “Pennsylvania Furnace” was released and the album appeared as a pre-release on Apple Music, revealing the artwork and final track list. The following day she officially revealed it with the caption:
SINNER GET READY, in which I seek but fail to find God in God’s Own Country, in which I find betrayal and abandonment, fear and loneliness, judgment. I gave my pain a place, and the place is named Pennsylvania, and the record unfolded in tandem with the pain, and the landscape entangled me further. It was obsessive and heartbreaking to make. I agonized over how to give my pain to the music, that the music might take it, and the result is something that doesn’t sound like anything, including what I have sounded like before. I gave myself over to the atonal conviction of the evangelical chorus, the sharp wound of the bowed banjo and the psaltery and the dulcimer and the frantically ringing bell, and the desperate repetition of ecstatic language, language. All for god, all for nothing.
The palette was honed to create dissonance and darkness using traditional instruments often extended or prepared with very little electronic intervention with producer partner magician @seffffffy who always compels me to stay True. We nod to American Primitivism and the American avant-garde but subvert and explode those forms as well. Seth brought aboard our secret weapon @riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine (he of the Ozarks) and his incredible arrangements, which expanded the songs in wild beauty. We gave everything to each song, and each song is unhinged in its own way. Confrontationally mastered by @chrisgehringer at Sterling Mastering. Mask on cover by the amazing @ashleyrosecouture . Layout by @chimerenoire . Artwork by me.
On July 15, 2021, the second single “Perpetual Flame of Centralia” was released.
