The Wallflowers Return With Highly Anticipated New Album for Release This Fall on Columbia Records
Select Tour Dates Announced To Kick Off in July!
LOS ANGELES, May 8, 2012-- The Wallflowers
have announced they are back in the studio and putting the finishing
touches on a long-awaited new studio album to be released by Columbia
Records this fall. Currently recording in Nashville at Dan Auerbach's (The Black Keys) Easy Eye Sound studio, the new album finds frontman Jakob Dylan joining original band members
Greg Richling
(bass) and
Rami Jaffee
(keyboards), with Wallflowers' longtime guitarist
Stuart Mathis
and drummer
Jack Irons
(Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam) rounding out the lineup. The album is being produced by
Jay Joyce
(Emmylou Harris, Cage the Elephant) and mixed by
Rich Costey
(Bruce Springsteen, The Shins).
The Wallflowers have taken their deep history and defining sound into
new territory with the release of their upcoming album. The new record
has the band doing what it does best while continuing to find new ground
to cover. "It's been a while since we've felt this energized and
creative. We haven't changed our stripes so much as we're continuing to
redefine the animal," said Jakob Dylan.
In addition to their new album, The Wallflowers have announced a
series of tour dates that will kick off in select U.S. cities in July
(please see dates below). On these dates the band expects to give fans a
preview of the new material, which finds them rediscovering their sound
while reflecting the varied influences they have accumulated over the
years.
Formed in Los Angeles, The Wallflowers rose to fame with their 4x platinum album Bringing Down The Horse,
which featured four top charting singles including "6th Avenue
Heartache," "One Headlight," "The Difference," and "Three Marlenas." The
two-time Grammy Award winners went on to sell over 7 million records
worldwide with a series of critically acclaimed albums before going on
hiatus in 2007. During the group's break from recording, Jakob Dylan
released two solo albums, 2008's Seeing Things and 2010's Women and Country, which also garnered significant praise.
