Now on their fifth U.S. tour, the New Trust is embarking on the next major accomplishment in their so-called "no goals" career: recording their new LP in Chicago with the legendary Steve Albini. The New Trust's Autumn 2012 tour is their first full US trip since the release of their 2008 album, "Get Vulnerable" and their acoustic collection "The New Trust & Friends: Battle To The Death" which was released in 2011.
Des Ark of North Carolina will accompany The New Trust on the East Coast dates, and many other exciting acts hand-picked by the band will round out each night's lineup.
About their new album "Keep Dreaming":
A logical progression from the dark tones of the band's latest official release, this new album's worth of material is poised to deliver the angular guitar, intricate drumming and abrasive bass that's become a trademark foundation supporting Staples' eerie-sweet vocals. The song titles may be subtle—"Compromise," "The Tiny Hours," "Keep Dreaming," "The Taking Tree"—but the visceral impact is heavy. "This is the hardest-sounding record we've written," assures Staples.
And then there's the new album's tentative title: The New Trust 'Keep Dreaming'. Does this imply a don't-quit-your-day-job-esque tongue, planted in cheek? Actually, Staples claims that these songs all have origins in dreams, whether in concept or melody. "Many of the initial ideas of these new songs are from dreams I've been having, or music I've remembered upon waking. But it's not a concept album, don't worry. Just dreamier than usual for us. Literally."
