Touché Amoré’s Jeremy Bolm Reveals Unexpected Vocal Range and Announces Stage Four Reissue

Jeremy Bolm, vocalist of Touché Amoré and founder of Secret Voice record label, recently surprised fans by demonstrating a vocal range drastically different from his typical raspy speaking and singing voice. This revelation occurred during an interview on the Hard Lore podcast, promoting the upcoming 10th-anniversary reissue of Touché Amoré’s critically acclaimed album, Stage Four.

Mutational Falsetto Explained

Bolm has a medical condition known as mutational falsetto, also referred to as puberphonia. This condition, which develops during puberty as a response to stress, causes individuals to habitually speak in a higher pitch than their natural vocal register. While typically speaking in this higher tone, Bolm is capable of shifting to a much deeper and louder voice. The demonstration of this deeper register on the Hard Lore podcast quickly went viral among fans.

Secret Voice and the Podcast

Bolm’s record label, Secret Voice, was named as an inside joke referencing his mutational falsetto, shared with friends aware of his condition. Bolm also hosts The First Ever Podcast, where he interviews artists about their early experiences and creative journeys. The podcast explores the often-challenging path to artistic success, emphasizing that it rarely happens quickly or easily. The First Ever Podcast features conversations with a diverse range of artists, including musicians, actors, poets, and photographers.

Stage Four Reissue and New Music

Touché Amoré is reissuing the 10th-anniversary edition of Stage Four on April 10th through Epitaph. As part of the reissue, the band has released a new “Gloom Version” of “Rapture” featuring Wisp. Bolm explained that he chose to collaborate with Wisp (Natalie Pruitt) since of her vocal ability, specifically its “whispery, breathy nature” which he felt matched the song’s energy.

The band will also be embarking on a 10th-anniversary tour in support of the reissue.
