Track 5 off the new album Travel Safe (2012)
Info:
On June 12th, Philadelphia rockers Jukebox the Ghost will follow up 2010′s Everything Under the Sun with Safe Travels via Yep Roc Records. Produced by Dan Romer (Ingrid Michelson), the band’s third LP features 13 tracks and is described as “ambitious” by a press release. Judging from the album’s tracklist, four tracks have been performed live, all of which you can preview below.
To support the release, the band will hit the road for most of March, which (naturally) includes a handful of gigs at South by Southwest, the likes of which are fully detailed in the itinerary below. Stay tuned as more surfaces.
Jukebox the Ghost’s (Ben Thornewill/piano, Tommy Siegel/guitar, Jesse Kristinalbum/drums) third album Safe Travels, the ambitious follow up to their 2010 breakout, was produced by Dan Romer (Ingrid Michelson) and features 13 new, original tracks.
Relocating from Philadelphia to New York City and playing over 250 shows since they’re last release, Safe Travels marks a shift in the band’s creative trajectory. “We’ve always been the band that juxtaposes darker lyrics with upbeat music, but this record feels a little more personal,” Thornewill explains. “In the grand scheme of things, it’s certainly not a downer record but you need pain to get joy and joy to get pain; they’re inseperable.”
After the release of 2010′s Everything Under the Sun, Jukebox The Ghost’s fanbase exploded as the band played hundreds of shows and headlined the largest venues of their career, including a packed house at DC’s legendary 930 Club and NY’s Brooklyn Bowl. During their rapid rise the band’s music was featured in an iPad ad, they played on Letterman and Lollapalooza, and much more. 180g 2LP pressing from Yep Roc.
