Brothers Past will release a double album of material spanning the band’s ten-year career.
Everything Must Go 0111, the band’s first release since the critically acclaimed This Feeling’s Called Goodbye (2005, SCI-Fidelity), will feature brand new material and new recordings of fan favorites. The album was recorded in “various studios, basements and bedrooms around the Philadelphia area,” according to Brothers Past guitarist Tom Hamilton, who assumed the producer role for the record. “This isn’t a concept record, but there is a story,” Hamilton said. “A lot of these songs are the ones we’ve built our career on and we wanted to bring them to life in the studio. This album is like a Polaroid of Brothers Past at ten years old and it was something that we needed to make.”
“It’s basically us looking forward and backwards at the same time,” Brothers Past keyboardist Tom McKee said. “It’s a pretty substantial collection of songs. Some of it was written in 2001 and some of it was written in 2010, but it was all recorded as part of the same creative process, so there’s a vibe to it and we want to keep it together as its own thing.”
The album will be released digitally on Hamilton’s Shoots and Boots label, with a release date set for Tuesday, March 27. Physical copies of the album will be available for the first time at three special CD release parties at the 8×10 in Baltimore, MD (Thurs, March 22), the Westcott Theater in Syracuse, NY (Fri, Mar 23.) and Union Transfer in Philadelphia, PA (Sat March 24.) EMG 0111 was produced and mixed by Hamilton and mastered by Chiller Sound’s Jon Altschiller (Phish, Dave Matthew Band, Ben Folds Five.)
