Big news today: the new Explone album is finished, it's called Dreamers/Lovers and it's coming your way on June 15th!

Think fast, here it comes:

To celebrate the upcoming release, we're offering a free download of the first single "Michigan" to the web at large in exchange for a tweet. Listen and find download instructions here.

"Michigan" has already been added to regular rotation at über-cööl KEXP, which broadcasts both here in Seattle and in NYC, and globally across the web. It's already gotten a bit of airplay love, but it wouldn't hurt anyone if you were to, like, you know, request it.

I've been with the band for just over two years now, but this album is the culmination of five years of work by our heroic bandleader Patrick, whose vision of combining Cheap Trick-era melody with shoegaze melancholy, then arc-welding it onto the body of a very angry 1986 Hüsker Dü has finally come to fruition. Congrats buddy :)

More news surely to follow as we hurtle towards the release date...
