With little over a month to go before it hits the shelves, Aleks and The Ramps have christened their sophomore LP.
Dubbed Midnight Believer, the long-awaited follow-up to their 2007 debut Pisces Vs. Aquarius, will be out through Stomp on May 30. The album was self-produced with the help of engineer Casey Rice (Tortoise, Dirty Three). While tracked live, the band spent many months in their home studio/shed working on overdubs and additional arrangements.
“After many months of dissecting and rearranging and piling on the synths/blips/panther yawns, we took the songs back to Casey to be mixed,” writes the band in a self-penned press release.
“To his credit, he didn’t stab us in our tiny faces and leave us in a ditch, which would have been an understandable response to being roped into such a task. For all you tech dudes out there, some songs had around one BILLION tracks of audio.”
The album’s cover art (see above) was created by Lily Coates, the artist responsible for the back cover of the Ramps’ self-titled 2005 EP. It’s designed to fold out into a large poster.
“Lily’s glamorous pictorial vision complements our latest fanciful musical outpourings.”
