Melburnian punk-rock royalty The Smith Street Band have revealed the title, release date and several other details about their forthcoming new studio album.
The full-length – the band’s third in the just-under-four-years since their inception, after 2012’s debut Sunshine & Technology and last year’s follow-up Don’t Fuck With Our Dreams – will be titled Throw Me In The River, and is set to drop on October 31 via Poison City Records. Better yet, we know what it’ll look like, too (and the answer is pretty damn clean and nice indeed):
The album was created with a worldly eye, having tracks written in (among other places) Salt Lake City, Calgary, London, New York and, er, North Melbourne before the band hunkered down at the town of Forrest, in Victoria’s Otways, to team up with Bomb The Music Industry’s Jeff Rosenstock, who handled production duties, mixmaster Jonathan Low (The War On Drugs, The National), and close mates/engineers Matt Voigt (Don’t Fuck With Our Dreams) and Sam Johnson (Sunshine & Technology).
Keep an eye out for further goodies to come from The Smith Street Band camp in the very near future. In the interim, it may interest you to know that the band’s own Wil Wagner is about to set out on a solo tour of his own, too; see the Gig Guide or The Music App for details.
