New Model Army’s Between Wine And Blood Comes September 16th
New Model Army is excited to announce the release of their new album
BETWEEN WINE AND BLOOD on September 16th, 2014 on earMUSIC
New Model Army will release their new album Between Wine And Blood on September 16th, 2014 on earMUSIC / Eagle Rock Entertainment as a 2CD set.
Between Wine And Blood is both a brand new studio mini-album of 6 new songs and an 11 track live album recorded on the band’s current Between Dog and Wolf tour in London, Nottingham, Cologne, Cambridge, and Amsterdam. Between Dog and Wolf, released last September, received some of New Model Army’s best reviews in their 34 year career and was certainly their fastest selling album in 20 years, charting top 30 in UK and Germany. The major European tour through the end of last year reflected this success.
The second half of the Between Dog and Wolf tour, planned for the Spring of 2014, was postponed until Autumn when drummer Michael Dean was diagnosed with blood clots in his leg and advised not to play shows. Instead the unexpected time off was used to record 6 brand new songs for the mini studio album to accompany the live tracks.
“When we finished ‘Between Dog and Wolf’ we wanted to keep the momentum going, and with Michael being unwell, the time became available to get back in the studio earlier than we planned. Michael was there writing and co-producing whilst he recuperated. The result is an eclectic and immediate-sounding New Model Army mini-album and feels to us like a logical move from ‘Between Dog and Wolf’s’ experimentation,” said lead singer Justin Sullivan.
Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool), who previously mixed Between Dog And Wolf, took the helm once again, mixing Between Wine And Blood in LA. “It was a pleasure again – and beginning to feel very much as if Joe’s part of the NMA family,” said Sullivan.
