Abandoned
Pools release their long-awaited third album, Sublime
Currency on August 28, 2012 via Tooth & Nail Recordsand today Alternative
Press is hosting an EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE STREAM of the
title track.
Sublime Currency is the culmination of the
eleven-year journey of Tommy Walter, bassist and co-founder of the
critically acclaimed band eels. Sublime Currency is
the follow up to Abandoned Pools’ 2005 release Armed to the Teeth,
a disc that revealed a songwriter grappling with confusion and darkness.
Now, Tommy has answered his own questions, finding solace in his faith and
recent marriage.
Abandoned Pools will play a rare club appearance for
their CD release when they headline The Roxy in Hollywood on September 15.
Sublime Currency is a unified, cohesive
vision from a single focused musician. Tommy played all the instruments
on the album, with the exception of the drums.
“I went back to my core of writing on my own and recording
on my own because it keeps the project focused,” he explains. “I had a lot of
range on the first album and I wanted to keep that going here, this range of
styles. The songs come from a long span of time, but I feel like they’re all
appropriate to now.”
