Kylesa: 'Static Tensions' track listing revealed
"Static Tensions", the fourth studio album from Savannah, Georgia's Kylesa, will be released on March 17 via Prosthetic Records. The CD's release will be quickly followed by the April 2 launch of a nationwide tour alongside The Haunted at Pomona, California's The Glass House.Guitarist/vocalist Phillip Cope produced "Static Tensions", which was recorded at the Jam Room in Columbia, South Carolina. He stated about the group's mindset during the making of the new album, "It was definitely a lot more thought out. We have the hindsight of some of the mistakes we've made in the past, so we were able to avoid making them again on this record. I think we came away from the experience with our best stuff yet."
Added guitarist/vocalist Laura Pleasants: "All of our records sound pretty different, but with the same core vibe or sound, and I think the new record has our core Kylesa sound, but branches out even more to incorporate more of our rock and psychedelic influences."
"Static Tensions" will feature artwork by Baroness' John Dyer Baizley and will receive a simultaneous vinyl release on 20 Buck Spin.
