Choir Boy

After the release of their debut album Passive With Desire, the band solidified into the foursome of Adam Klopp, Chaz Costello, Jeff Kleinman, and Michael Paulsen. Living in Salt Lake City, "We would see each other nearly every day, rehearse multiple times a week." Their collected drive – and friendships – resulted in Gathering Swans. The album was announced in February 2020. One month later, "At least one hundred shows were cancelled." Touring in support of Swans couldn't begin in earnest until Spring of 2022, and by then, the band members moved away from Salt Lake, settling in Los Angeles, and places East. "Triumphantly return?" Time is a notorious trickster, and the band are jovial when confronting the subject. "Just say that we 'Got Lost.'" Over the past four years, Choir Boy have continued making surrealist music videos, sharing avant-garde updates on social media, and playing live across North America and Europe. Yet, when measured against the release of their last album, the lack of new music has felt like an eternity for some in their dedicated fanbase. "Tell everyone the delays are my fault." Laughter. "Blame everything on me." Following the end of their supporting run for Provoker last September, Choir Boy's momentum was at a high, and after kicking off 2026 with a series of one-off shows in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, there was a rebirth, leading to the recording of "I'll Always Let You Down."
