Rhett Miller & Co. (Old 97s) will be releasing their first
studio album since 2004's Drag It Up on May 13 via New West Records.
The album is titled Blame It On Gravity and according to their label
finds the band Burning up the amps and returning to the satisfying
crunch" of their early year.
Here's a few words regarding the sound of the new album from the band's
Myspace page: Some bands blast out of the gate and never recapture their
early energy. Other bands establish themselves as models of consistency.
Still other bands take a while to find themselves. And then there are
bands like the Old 97s, who blast out of the gate, establish themselves
as models of consistency, take a while to find themselves, and then,
fifteen years in, deliver a glorious record that sums up everything about
them that fans have always loved. With Blame It On Gravity, the seventh
Old 97's record and the second for New West, the band has made its
definitive statement. It's really exciting, says Rhett Miller, the band's
lead singer and songwriter. I read an interview with Randy Newman where
he said that if your work is as good at 50 as it was at 20, you've won
the battle. We're nowhere near fifty, but I feel like this collection of
songs is the best we've ever done.
