Mould - Hoping as a Coping Mechanism (2026) [Hi-Res]

Hoping as a Coping Mechanism is the debut album by the band led by Kane and Joe, recorded in London with producer Sean Oakley. The project delivers 13 tracks that explore external societal horrors and internal psychological struggles. It features the raw energy of a live band captured through a focused and disciplined studio process. The title originates from the song 'Emotive Language' and reflects the complex reality of forming a musical group while navigating adulthood. Lead single 'Float' highlights the experience of doom-scrolling through modern digital hellscapes. The record effectively channels these frustrations into a visceral sound reminiscent of moody British rock.
