The Districts have announced their fifth studio album.
The follow-up to 2020's 'You Know I'm Not Going Anywhere' is called 'Great American Painting' and will arrive on February 4 via Fat Possum.
Produced by Joe Chiccarelli and recorded at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, it's previewed by the soaring new song I Want To Feel It All, which deals in the Philadelphia band's signature guitar-driven indie-rock. It comes paired with a cinematic video co-directed by Frank Apollonio and the group. Vocalist and guitarist Rob Grote commented:
"I Want To Feel It All is about feeling everything possible all at once, and emotional fireworks and loving the universe and everyone in it. But it also saves room for being about death and the darkness underlying all existence, and forgiveness and pain and acceptance.
"The video takes place in the twilit Pennsylvania hills, where we perform with fireworks in the ever fleeting present this song seeks to grasp. The surreal undertone to the video represents the detached dreamlike world this song lives in, while the unspoiled American landscape is a symbol of idealism and the natural mystery that inspires our work."
They'll support the record with a rescheduled UK and European tour early in 2022.
