Brass, the new album from Royal Bangs, will be released September 17 on Modern Art Records. Produced by The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney, this is the Knoxville-based band’s fourth full-length release and follows 2011’s Flux Outside, which The New York Times describes as, “All the elements are tightly packed, in a crowded production that crams together (distorted) keyboards and (distorted) guitars, pushes the singers toward a tuneful yell and splashes cymbals over the top.” In advance of the release, the official music video for the album’s first single, “Better Run,” recently premiered at RollingStone.com and is now available to view/embed here. Additionally, in August, the band will join Jimmy Eat World on a series of shows, including a date at New York’s Central Park SummerStage on August 7. See below for complete details.
The 12-track album was recorded at Haptown Studios in Nashville during May 2012. Of working with the band, Carney comments, “I was really excited to get to produce a Royal Bangs album. I discovered them about six years ago and became so obsessed that I released their first two albums on my label, Audio Eagle, but this is the first chance I’ve had to actually help them make an album. They are one of those bands that just keep getting better and better and I couldn’t be more proud to have been involved with this album and band.”
Since their debut in 2008, Royal Bangs have toured with The Black Keys, The Walkmen, Portugal. The Man, and Cold War Kids among many others. They have also performed at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and on the “Late Show with David Letterman.”
