Lifehouse have set a December 11th release date for their new studio album, Almeria, and they will also be playing two special release shows.
The release show will take place on December 11th at The Gramercy in New York City and the second show will take place on December 18th in Los Angeles at the Troubadour. The new album was produced by long time collaborator Jude Cole. "We just felt like some sounds needed to evolve," remarked lead singer Jason Wade. "We knew we had to shake things up creatively and go back to the drawing board, try something new. It was a liberating experience; I feel like we can take all our different musical influences and they can kind of coalesce together and live in the same space without any rules or guidelines. This album was just very in-the-moment, or should I say letting moments happen instead of forcing something and trying to manipulate it."
The picturesque Spanish town of Almerνa rests on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and was the location for the filming of many of the classic spaghetti westerns filmed in the mid 1960's. The studio at Box Canyon, CA where Lifehouse recorded Almerνa had a similar arid landscape.
