X: The Godless Void And Other Stories

2020 release. Five years on from the release of their previous record, Austins beloved art-rock heroes And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead return with their tenth album X: The Godless Void and Other Stories. Expansive yet concise, this album nods to the bands traditional touchstones the feral scree of Sonic Youth, Rushs symphonic anthems, the textured bliss of My Bloody Valentine while morphing effortlessly into newer forms. Work on X: The Godless Void and Other Stories began in earnest in 2018, after Keely returned to the bands hometown of Austin following five years in Cambodia. With a new line-up having recently toured the 20th anniversary of their Madonna album, theyre also reverted to the live format of their earlier years, with Reece and Keely alternating between drums and frontman duties a musical partnership that dates back to their high school days. Appropriately, it all feels fresh. Conrad Keely - Guitar, Vocals, Drums, Piano / Jason / Reece - Guitar, Vocals, Drums / Jamie Miller - Drums, Guitar / Autry Fulbright II - Bass, Vocals
