Another Day is the seventh studio album by Canadian post-hardcore band Fucked Up. Produced by guitarist, songwriter and occasional lead vocalist Mike Haliechuk, the album was self-released on August 9, 2024, and is a direct sequel album to the band's previous album, One Day (2023).
Using the same recording approach as One Day, each band member recorded their respective studio parts within a strict 24-hour timeframe. The album is the first to feature recording contributions from guitarist Josh Zucker since Glass Boys (2014).
The album was primarily written and recorded over the course of 2022 and 2023, with sessions taking place at various studios across Toronto and London. The initial guitar tracks were laid down in May 2022 at Candle Studios in Toronto, and engineered by Alex Gamble. During the same month, drums were recorded at both Palace Studios in Toronto and Fuzzbrain Studios in London, with additional drum recordings taking place at the Total Refreshment Centre in London. Gamble also oversaw these sessions.
In October 2022, Sandy Miranda recorded the bass parts at Palmer Stone Studios in Toronto. By July 2022, guitarist Josh Zucker completed his recordings at Candle Studios. The lead vocals, primarily performed by Damian Abraham, were recorded by Dylan Frankland at Foran Sound/Wychwood Sounds in Toronto in November 2023, and was mastered in March 2024.
The album was announced in June 2024, about 18 months after their previous album, One Day . [2]
