One of the most progressive voices in alternative rock, San Francisco’s I The Mighty announced today that their highly-anticipated new album Where The Mind Wants To Go / Where You Let It Go will be released on October 20th via Rude Records worldwide (Equal Vision Records in North America).
Along with this announcement, the band also released Silver Tongues; the first single from the album. The tracl, which features Tilian Pearson of Dance Gavin Dance, is a pulsing wall of frenzied percussion, ethereal synths and driving, delay-soaked guitar over which vocalist Brent Walsh assertively declares ‘Never again will I spend all the precious time that I have left, on those who oppose anyone doing what they love”. You can watch the video for Silver Tongues now on YouTube or on the band’s website, while the song is available for purchase or stream from today here. Walsh commented on the single: ‘Today couldn’t get here fast enough. This album is the culmination of years of inspiration and energy… we couldn’t be more excited to begin this next chapter with “Silver Tongues”. Tilian has been a friend whose art we’ve greatly appreciated for some time now and we’re thrilled to have him as such a prominent part of a song we felt so close to.’
The forthcoming album Where the Mind Wants To Go / Where You Let It Go is certain to please the band’s long-term fans, while simultaneously raising excitement about the growth they have undergone while exploring this most recent chapter in their creative journey. Stay posted for more from I The Mighty as we get closer to the release and catch the band hitting the UK in December supporting BAYSIDE.
