New York, NY – Revealing secrets of their longevity, the core members of ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead – Conrad Keely and Jason Reece – are back with their seventh longplayer. Aptly titled, TAO OF THE DEAD, ...Trail of Dead (also lovingly known to some as the band that won't die) come back yet again with a surprisingly forceful yet sophisticated new album that evokes a refreshing nostalgia (paying faithful homage to Pink Floyd, Rush, Steppenwolf, and Neu!...yes NEU!). To retrace their musical steps, the band enlisted long-time friend Chris "Frenchie" Smith (producer of the band's seminal 1998 self-titled LP) to find that blistering sound that pricked up critics ears 12 years ago. We find them also experimenting with celebrated indie producer Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blonde Redhead) on a 15 minute opus titled "Tao of the Dead Part 2." The immediacy of this new album is not to be missed and picks up where 2009's Century of Self left hardcore fans wondering “what's next?”
To kick things off the label will be releasing the first single off the album – “Summer Of All Dead Souls” on November 29th...
The past two years has seen ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead flourish with the return to their indie roots and with the regaining of their independence. Their last album The Century of Self earned them raves in the press. In the Spring of 2010 the band entered a worldwide deal with SuperballMusic and their Richter Scale Records Imprint. With a new deal in place, Keely and Reece are ready to unleash their latest opus TAO OF THE DEAD on February 8th, 2011 in North America, February 7th in the UK and Europe and February 4th in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The band will of course be touring in support of the new album, kicking things off in Europe at the end of March on a co- headlining tour with Rival Schools.
