Hier die offizielle Info:
"It's been awhile since music has had a rebellious voice. Not since Rage Against the Machine put their fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy has there been such an unmitigated combustion of sonic ferocity fueled by relentless passion and intrepid ideology. At least not until letlive. came along...
LA's volatile four-piece rock band fanned the flames of discontent with their critically praised record, Fake History, for a new generation of fans three years ago, and today have announced their long-awaited return with one of the year's most anticipated albums, The Blackest Beautiful, due out on July 9th via Epitaph Records. letlive. has premiered their first new song, "Banshee (Ghost Fame)," in the form of a powerful video today. Additionally, fans who pre-order The Blackest Beautiful starting today at letlivestore.com will receive an instant download of "Banshee (Ghost Fame)."
"This song explores the tragic humor in entertainment as an industry as opposed to an art," explains letlive.'s inimitable vocalist Jason Aalon Butler. "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."
"The mindset was certainly a holistic one when regarding this record," Butler adds. "The vibe developed on its own as we wrote it. While we certainly indulged particular tastes, stylistically, as individuals, we made sure that the product culminated as something we could all enjoy. Essentially we all got to explore elements we had always wanted to and somehow found a way to marry them tastefully on one album."
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.
Like those that paved the path before them, Rage Against the Machine, Deftones, Mars Volta, At the Drive In, etc., letlive. transcend passing trends and scenes with a focus that is entirely devoted to their art and furthering their creativity through music. The Blackest Beautiful is their latest creation, which will undoubtedly be celebrated for years to come."
