Video: The Early November Sign To Rise Records (NEW ALBUM SPRING 2012)

Rise Records is proud to announce the signing of The Early November . The influential New Jersey band is currently locked away at The Living Room Studio in Hammonton, NJ working on their first new record in six years, set to be released in the spring of 2012. In a joint statement the band says, "We are pleased to announce that after a few years of rest and even longer since last recording, The Early November will be making another record to be released by the fine folks at Rise [...]

Via their Facebook Profile , The Early November announced their signing to Rise Records and promised new material for next year. The band had been on hiatus since 2007 but reunited in September 2011. The band announced their plans via YouTube. Their last full length as a band was the 2006 ambitious triple album, The Mother, the Mechanic, and the Path released on Drive-Thru Records .

So I'm pretty ecstatic at the news that The Early November are reuniting. With the glut of break-ups and "indefinite hiatus's" announced by some scene heavyweights recently, it's nice to see one of them doing the opposite. In this clip you can watch members of the band discuss their reunion along with plans for their new album which is tentatively slated for a release next spring with Rise Records. MP3 // BABY BLUE (such a good song... and album)
