Exhausted Dialogue

“Exhausted Dialogue is an album about internal and external struggle,” vocalist and guitarist Elliot Lozier explains. “Rarely do we find any kind of reprieve when facing these struggles, and it felt like we were beating a dead horse by singing about these topics again and again.”
The album’s title comes from video-game terminology. Players “exhaust” an NPC’s dialogue by repeatedly speaking with the character until there is nothing new left to say—a concept Lozier felt summed up the record’s recurring frustrations and themes.
Doom Scroll recorded Exhausted Dialogue themselves, with Lozier and guitarist Jon Pizarro tracking the album in their bedrooms. Grammy Award-winning engineer Jason Livermore mixed and mastered the record. His credits include Propagandhi’s Supporting Caste, NOFX’s Wolves in Wolves’ Clothing and The Suicide Machines’ War Profiteering Is Killing Us All. Ian Cook of Larry and His Flask also appears on the track “Horsemen.”
