Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. have announced the release of their sophomore album and their North American Fall tour plans where they will be hitting the road with Atlas Genius. The group revealed earlier this week that they will be releasing their brand new studio album, The Speed Of Things, on October 8th via Warner Bros. Records.
"We really couldn't be more excited to release The Speed Of Things" says the band. "It's a record that means a great deal to us, as it focuses on the size and speed of the world today.
"Everything is moving faster and faster as we are all much more connected by the global central nervous system that is the internet. Often it feels like when one realizes what they wish to do, it's impossible to know where to begin due to the scale of everything. We're a generation full of false starts."
The group has a few festival appearances this month before they head out on the Ones to Watch Tour with Atlas Genius, which kicks off on September 24th in Cincinnati, OH.
