Semisonic have released a new single, Out Of The Dirt.
Rife with guitar licks from special guest Americana star Jason Isbell, the piano-laden power-pop track appears on the band's first new album in 22 years, 'Little Bit Of Sun', due out on November 3. Songwriter Dan Wilson commented:
"I wrote Out Of The Dirt with the amazing Lori McKenna. I told Lori I was hoping to make something with a stomping beat and a hypnotic, mesmerizing lyrical chant. The result was even more stomping and mesmeric than I had hoped. The track is pretty simple, just me on the piano, John on fretless bass and Jake on drums
"As we were cutting the track, everyone agreed it needed some hot lead guitar. But instead of adding a guitar of my own later, we reached out to Jason Isbell to see if he wanted to throw down. The answer was yes (what a day!) and the results speak for themselves: Jason fucking rocks, as we already knew."
It follows the previously unveiled cuts The Rope, Grow Your Own and the record's title track. Recorded in the group's hometown of Minneapolis, the LP also includes a collaboration with My Morning Jacket's Jim James.
