It's been four years since Other Lives released ‘Tamer Animals’, but now the Oklahomans have announced its follow-up, entitled ‘Rituals’, will be out on May 4 via Play It Again (PIAS).
The 14-track album, produced by the band's Jonathon Mooney, Jesse Tabish and Joey Waronker (Eels, Atoms for Peace), is their most lush, layered, and striking musical creation to date, as well as the band's third full-length LP.
Listen to the first cut from the record, 'Reconfiguration', which debuted onZane Lowe's (Radio 1) show this week, below.
'Rituals' is a pure encapsulation of the band's relentless drive for precision. The trio relocated to Portland, Oregon from their hometown of Stillwater, Oklahoma to record the album. Tabish says the relocation had a direct influence that can be heard throughout.
"There was a spirit of change. We had done 2011's second 'Tamer Animals', which was very close to us and about our home. So the next record was about the spontaneity of travel and being isolated. For the first times in our lives we were moving off on our own away from our families and kind of coming into our own. I wanted the songs to reflect that new spirit."
