Sincere Engineer of Chicago, IL just released the new single "Twist My Tongue" along with news of the band's fourth album, Probable Claws, which comes out June 26, again on Hopeless Records. The band released Cheap Grills in 2023.

"I think the overall theme of this record is being uncomfortable with the passing of time and how quick time passes," says vocalist Deanna Belos. "Not all the songs touch on that, there's some songs about me moving too fast through life myself."

PROBABLE CLAWS TRACK LIST:

1. Twist My Tongue
2. Cooler
3. Pilot Light
4. DNA
5. LOL
6. Fast Forward, Rewind
7. Hallucinogenic
8. Arborvitae Evergreen
9. The Perfect Crime
10. Settle Up with Your Downfall
11. Dynamite
