Third Eye Blind announce new album Screamer and two UK shows (2019)
Story by Jack Foley
THIRD Eye Blind have announced details of their new album Screamer and October UK tour dates in Manchester and London.
Commenting on the band’s sixth full length album, Screamer, Stephan Jenkins said: “My current mood resonates with rebellion, energy, courage, and risk. I seek to combine it with a percussive level of musical immediacy in this collection of songs to cultivate collective idealism and an unapologetic aspiration towards humanistic values.”
The follow-up to 2018’s EP Thanks for Everything, Screamer finds Third Eye Blind collaborating with Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells (Screamer), Ryan Olson of Marijuana Death Squad and Poliça (Who Am I and Got So High), and the album’s musical consigliere, Billy Corgan.
“We have always been so insular,” says Jenkins, “and on Screamer we adopted an open door policy – come in, be musical, and follow the song where it takes us.”
Screamer will be available everywhere on October 18.
To celebrate, Third Eye Blind have also confirmed two UK shows, in London and Manchester. They are as follows…
October 2019
24 – O2 Ritz Manchester
25 – O2 Forum Kentish Town
