The brand-new Mates of State album Mountaintops was recently released on September 13 via Barsuk Records. Mountaintops is the band's newest album since 2008's critically acclaimed Re-Arrange Us.
The self-produced album was written and recorded over the last year and
a half in 6 different studios with multiple different engineers.
Rolling Stone praised the album, saying that, "Mountaintops...
finds [Mates of State] going further than ever with electronic textures
without sacrificing the warmth and classic melodicism of their earlier
work."
In support of Mountaintops,
Mates of State will be doing a number of tour dates across the United
States. Starting on September 21, the band will tour the East Coast,
kicking off at D.C.'s 9:30 Club and playing through November 21, where
they will play Cleveland's Beachland Ballroom just in time for
Thanksgiving, Along the way, the band will be visiting
such historic venues as New York City's Webster Hall and Los Angeles'
Music Box. The first leg will be supported by Suckers, Yawn, and Other
Lives, and the second by Generationals. For a full list of tour dates,
