US band No Age have revealed details of a 10-date UK tour to promote the upcoming release of their new studio album on September 27th.
Recorded in Los Angeles from the end of 2009 and into 2010, "Everything in Between" is the new album from No Age, the duo of Dean Spunt and Randy Randall.
They emerged from former band Wives in 2005, to become No Age, worldwide glowing talismans for the DIY art-punk scene in LA, now famously known as having its epicenter at The Smell, a clubhouse where art-life/music-life welded and inspired a creative movement and attitude which has fertilized a purple patch of likeminded punkers and artists around the globe.
Since the release of "Weirdo Rippers", their 2007 debut album, through Nouns, the band's 2008 follow-up on Sub Pop, and beyond, No Age has earned enthusiastic notice from an incredibly wide array of sources; from Pitchfork to The New Yorker ("Let It Rip," Nov. 19, 2007), and found themselves unlikely Grammy nominees (for "Best Recording Packaging" in 2008).
No Age have risen from sweaty basement shows and art galleries to having their songs blast off the walls of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), to performing at unconventional spaces both close to home and abroad.
And "Everything in Between" is a bold step in their creative evolution. It documents their lives and their artistic progression more prominently welded into a permanent union. It is a culmination of reflecting upon life's ruptures and triumphs; the process of moving through these moments banged and bruised, yet better off for the wear and tear. They've pushed themselves in challenging and different directions, deconstructing their weird-out pop songs while still maintaining their original aesthetic and intent. Melody is formed from noise and samples; disorienting rhythms, howling tones, fuzzed-out scuffs, cuts and grazes, and heart-wrenching skree are all vital to embellishing the raw sentiment of the album.
"Everything in Between" Tracklisting is as follows:
1. Life Prowler
2. Glitter
3. Fever Dreaming
4. Depletion
5. Common Heat
6. Skinned
7. Katerpillar
8. Valley Hump Crash
9. Sorts
10. Dusted
11. Positive Amputation
12. Shred and Transcend
13. Chem Trails
The first single from the album will be "Glitter", which is released via Sub Pop on August 23rd.
