Japandroids Announce Vinyl Tuesday Release
JAPANDROIDS THIRD ALBUM, NEAR TO THE WILD HEART OF LIFE, WILL BE AVAILABLE AT YOUR LOCAL RECORD STORE FIRST ON VINYL TUESDAY, JANUARY 24TH, AND EVERYWHERE ELSE ON JANUARY 27TH VIA ANTI-.
Near To The Wild Heart Of Life has been named one of the most anticipated albums of 2017 by Entertainment Weekly, Billboard, Consequence of Sound, New York Magazine’s Vulture, Pitchfork, Stereogum, NPR, AV Club and more! The band released their first single, the album’s title track, in late 2016, with Pitchfork calling it “a quintessential Japandroids song, anti-nostalgia that encourages you to figure out what you want out of life and how to make it happen this moment.”
A pre-order for the album is up now at http://www.japandroids.com, with the option to buy the special 7” edition of the title track single featuring a b-side cover of Talking Heads’ “Love → Building on Fire.”
Japandroids will set out on a headlining tour beginning on February 13th, which will find them playing their biggest show to date at NYC’s Terminal 5 on February 23rd, as well as multiple nights in Toronto, Philadelphia, DC and Los Angeles.
