City and Colour were recently announced as part of the massive first lineup set for Byron Bay Bluesfest 2016 and the Dallas Green (Alexisonfire) solo project has now announced a new album, If I Should Go Before You, set to drop 9th October.
To celebrate the release, City and Colour have unveiled an absolutely epic new single titled ‘Woman’, which soars for an incredible nine minutes.
The opening track from the new album is a splendrous interplay between Green’s honeyed falsetto, some creeping percussion, and a chorus of shoegaze-y guitar work.
Recorded at Nashville, Tennessee’s Blackbird Studios, If I Should Go Before You was produced by Green with additional production and engineering by Karl “Horse” Bareham and features the members of Green’s trusted touring band.
“They inspired me to want to create new music, just to create it with them. I don’t think I wrote these songs for the band, per se, but I certainly wrote them because of the band,” Green explains of his new approach to recording.
“Anybody who has seen us play will understand that this is the best representation of what we do live that we have ever recorded. I was so excited about being able to make and record an album with these guys that it just flowed. I felt so confident about their abilities to make all of my ideas come true.”
