The most welcome return of Other Lives is due in May.
The band release their new album ‘Rituals‘ on May 4th through Play It Again Sam, recorded in Portland, Oregon. It’s their first since the wonderful 2011 effort ‘Tamer Animals‘ and was an 18-month affair when more than 60 songs were recorded.
“There was a spirit of change,” Jesse Tabish says. “We had done ‘Tamer Animals’, which was very close to us and about our home. So the next record was about the spontaneity of travel and being isolated. For the first times in our lives we were moving off on our own away from our families and kind of coming into our own. I wanted the songs to reflect that new spirit.”
“This one was a real journey. It was a long time spent searching for a new identity, still trying to retain the past of our musical palate but also really trying to stretch ourselves into a new type of music.”
