MINUS
THE BEAR ANNOUNCE FALL HEADLINING TOUR
CURRENTLY FINISHING UP HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM
NEW
SINGLE, INTO THE MIRROR, AVAILABLE
OCTOBER 27TH
Seattle-based
quintet Minus the Bear are excited to announce a four-week North American headlining
tour that will begin October 30th in Eugene, Oregon, proceeded by warm up dates
in the Northwest and New York. Having spent
the last 4 months in Seattle’s Avast! Recording Co and Electrokitty Recording
studios, working on their highly anticipated fourth studio album, the band is
looking forward to debuting their new material to fans in a live setting.
Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (My Morning Jacket,
The White Stripes), Minus the Bear’s new album will expand on their complex and
exciting brand of rock n roll. "This album has more scope than the past
records,” says guitarist Dave Knudson, “some songs are more poppy and immediate
while others expand on the complexities we're known for.”
Before the early 2010 album release, Minus the Bear will give fans a sneak peek
at the Chiccarelli sessions by releasing the new album’s first single “Into The
Mirror,” a song that not only shows the more expansive elements of the new
record but is a song filled with keyboard-driven soul mixed with the immediate
charm of pop music. Set for an October 27th release, the single will
include b-side “Broken China” a perfect pairing of the band’s indie / prog-rock
influences.
“Into
The Mirror” and “Broken China” will only be available as a special 7” and
through digital music stores.
Tickets
go on sale this Saturday, September 12th.
