}}Excommunication is the first solo album by Neon Trees singer Tyler Glenn, released on October 21, 2016, by Island Records. The title of the album refers to Glenn leaving The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in November 2015.[1]

Composition

The album was described by Out as a "blend of synth-heavy electro jams and ballads that are equal parts Depeche Mode and Peter Gabriel."[2] The single "John, Give 'Em Hell" was written in support of John Dehlin.[3]

Release and promotion

The debut single from the album, "Trash," was accompanied by a music video.[4] The single "Shameless" was accompanied by a music video denouncing the Mormon church. The album was released on October 21, 2016.[5] Glenn performed the single "Midnight" on Live with Kelly and Ryan.[6]

Critical reception

In reference to the music video for "Trash," Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone said "Glenn’s performance in the video is violent and incendiary, mirroring his troubled relationship with his religion. He spits out lyrics that reflect the self-loathing he felt upon hearing the ban on members of the LGBTQ community in the Mormon church last year."[8] Chris Gerard of Washington Blade stated that the album "is as electrifying and upbeat as anything Neon Trees might have produced and boasts the added poignancy of exploring Glenn literally losing his religion."[9]
