Official press release:
Southern Californian rock trio Radio Moscow has just delivered the masters of its fifth studio album, New Beginnings, which is set for release via their new label home, Century Media Records, on September 29, 2017.
The album’s striking cover artwork was created by artist Courtney Cole and photographer Dana Trippe with lettering coming from Robin Gnista. New Beginnings was recorded at Lost Ark Studio in San Diego with Mike Butler, produced by the band’s own Parker Griggs and mastered by Mark Chalecki at Little Red Book Mastering.
As a sneak peek at what to expect, check out a video of a radio session take of the album’s first track, “New Beginning”.
New Beginnings track listing:
1. “New Beginning”
2. “Deceiver”
3. “Woodrose Morning”
4. “Driftin'”
5. “No One Knows Where They’ve Been”
6. “Last to Know”
7. “New Skin”
8. “Pacing”
9. “Pick up the Pieces”
10. “Dreams”
New Beginnings will be released as regular black and limited-edition colored LP+CD (including a poster designed by Robin Gnista) as well as on CD, and all digital/streaming platforms.
Right on time with the release of their new opus, the band has confirmed the The Drifting Tour, which will drown Europe from September 26 to October 31 in waves of fuzzy, hard rocking riffs and sweaty, cranked up blues!
Prior to that, Radio Moscow will perform at several European festivals as well as head over to the UK for a mini tour in August with support coming from The Groundhogs. Furthermore, a US west coast tour has been recently added. Full dates can be found listed below.
Formed in 2003, the power trio led by Stratocaster genius Parker Griggs carved their own sonic niche fusing crunching, heavy Sabbath-style chords with fiery ‘Hendrixian’ solos and a raw intensity that is addictive and captivating. From the self-titled debut back in 2007, which was produced by Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, over to last year’s “Live! In California”, Radio Moscow proved to be not just a cheap time machine but a direct descendant from the golden age of rock ‘n’ roll!
