The Hold Steady - New Album Info Released

 Writer: Ian S. Russell
  

Brooklyn-based Rock 4-piece 'The Hold Steady' have today reviled plans for there next album: 'Heaven Is Whenever'. The new album set for release May 3 on Rough Trade in the UK (and May 4 in the USA on Vagrant Records.)

The album was produced by Dean Baltulonis, who engineered the band’s debut album 'Almost Killed Me’ and produced their second album 'Separation Sunday’. 'Heaven Is Whenever’ was recorded at Dreamland Recording Studios in up-state NY and Wild Arctic Studios in Queens, NY, with mixing also happening at Wild Arctic.

Singer Craig Finn says 'Heaven Is Whenever’ is about 'embracing suffering and finding reward in our everyday lives'. Piano and keys, though still present, take a backseat to guitar on the new record, which also gets production help from lead guitarist Tad Kubler.

Following the release of 2008’s critically acclaimed 'Stay Positive’ which gave the band it’s highest Billboard chart position to date, and a Top 15 album in the UK, The Hold Steady toured relentlessly, playing to some of their biggest audiences to date.
