LA’s volatile four-piece rock band, letlive. today announce their long-awaited return with one of the year’s most anticipated albums, 'The Blackest Beautiful', due out on July 8 via Epitaph Records.
Check out their first new song, Banshee (Ghost Fame), below. Additionally, fans who pre-order 'The Blackest Beautiful' starting today at letlivestore.com will receive an instant download of Banshee (Ghost Fame).
letlive.’s vocalist Jason Aalon Butler talks about the new track:
“This song explores the tragic humor in entertainment as an industry as opposed to an art. Sonically this track was a pretty suitable representation of the record's sonic spectrum. We also employed some elements of groove that we have always been fans of.”
Self-produced with the help of longtime co-conspirator Kit Walters and mixed by pop guru Stephen George (Mary J Blige, Michael Jackson), 'The Blackest Beautiful' features eleven politically, socially and personally conscious songs like The Priest and Used Cars, which refers the tragic costs of poisonous zeal, Virgin Dirt, about self-sabotaging relationships, and 27 Club, a personal tale of living life selflessly or selfishly.
letlive. is ready to hit the road once again, this time in support of 'The Blackest Beautiful', bringing everything they’ve got on stage in UK and Mainland Europe this autumn.
