Album Release Together
Finally we can tell you all about our new full length album! The moment we have
been waiting for since long, and hopefully you too? TOGETHER will come out on
Tuesday May 2nd on LP, CD, tape and digitally. The tracklist includes your
favorite previously released digital singles within an album context and brand
new musical discoveries, all in your physical format of choice!
TOGETHER describes the state of the world, the music industry and our approach
to this album. Current global problems can only be addressed together; Ukraine
can’t defeat Putin on its own, nor can we beat climate change without worldwide
support. And instead of being a Do It Yourself band we prefer the Do It Together
approach. Without partners like independent labels, promoters, bookers and of
course the support of our audience we would be nowhere. That also goes for this
release: we asked friends running labels, stores, booking agencies to work on
this album together. Without them this album is going nowhere. And lastly: even
though these songs were recorded in batches and some released digitally, we
wanted to put them together on a physical album.
This is our first full length album after 2016’s ENGAGE. Toon and Ben both
recorded songs and Ian Legge aka The Punk Cellist contributed cello parts to
Helping Hands. The songs are recorded by Martin Beusker at Mailmen studio and
Tim van Doorn at Big Dog Recordings, the album is mastered by Nico van Montfort
at XPZ Sound, the beautiful artwork is created by Thomas at Dark Roast.
FROM CITY TO CITY
Our last pre-album single From City to City will give you a fresh taste of the
brand new songs on Tuesday March 7th. The song was recorded last May with Tim
van Doorn at Big Dog Recordings featuring Ben on bass. A beautiful music video
was shot by people that visited recent shows. You may already know the song if
you were there, now you might see yourself in the music video!
TOGETHER PRE-ORDER
On March 7th the pre-order for the album also kicks off. There will be a limited
pre-order edition of the album and bundles with other albums, shirts and more
via our webshop. The physical version of the album comes with lyrics and
extensive liner notes. CDs come in a digipak, eco-friendly LPs in a gatefold
sleeve with transparent green vinyl via us and transparent yellow via labels. A
group of 20 labels will co-release the album worldwide so you can order from
your favorite local dealer when the pre-order starts. If you wanna be involved
in the release/distribution of our album, let us know!
That’s it for now… Our next newsletter will include a new song, a pre-order of
the album and release tour dates! Thanks for reading, till next time; Ben,
Riekus & Willem
