The Early November announce new LP & tour w/ Restorations

by Andrew Sacher

Early November

The Early November are yet another group of emo elder statesmen getting another round of excitement thanks to the genre’s revival. Following a recent tour with Empire! Empire!, and an upcoming European tour with You Blew It! and A Great Big Pile of Leaves, The Early November will hit the road in North America with heart-on-sleeve Philly rockers Restorations, as well as mid-’00s band Lydia.

That tour hits NYC on June 2 at Bowery Ballroom. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (3/13) at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (3/11) at noon. All dates are listed below.

The Early November and Restorations also play Michigan’s Bled Fest (with Touche Amore, Modern Life Is War, Small Brown Bike and others), and they hook back up with tourmates You Blew It! and A Great Big Pile of Leaves for NJ’s Pinelands Music Festival on August 15. Tickets for that fest are on sale now.

Restorations also tour with another band of elder statesmen, The Get Up Kids (plus PUP) which hits New Jersey and Long Island this month. LI tickets are still available.

A Great Big Pile of Leaves also tour with non-emo vets RX Bandits, and Philly newcomers Cayetana, hitting NYC at MHOW on 4/13 (tix).

Meanwhile, in addition to their tour, The Early November are releasing a new album, Imbue, on May 12 via Rise Records. It follows their 2012 reunion album, In Currents, and their recent ten-year anniversary celebration of 2003’s The Room’s Too Cold. First single “Narrow Mouth” has the kind of somber verses and bridges that The Early November tend to excel at, and it all culminates in some pretty big choruses. Listen below.

Imbue Tracklist:
1. Narrow Mouth
2. Better This Way
3. Magnolia
4. The Negatives
5. Boxing Timelines
6. Circulation
7. Harmony
8. Cyanide
9. I Don’t Care
10. Nothing Lasts Forever
