Long time independent music bohemians DateMonthYear are proud to announce the release of their 5th album on December 1st, 2019.
This collection was recorded at ‘The Porch’ studio in Hamilton, New Zealand. It was produced by DMY founder Trevor Faville with engineering and mixing by Scott Newth.
Although this is DateMonthYear’s fifth album, the decision was made to make it self titled because as Faville says “It’s very much a summary statement of five years of work” The work featuring the line-up of Emma Koretz (vocals), Brooke Baker (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Tyler Leet (guitar) and Hayley Schwass (bass) who have been gigging and recording regularly over this time.
The new album includes previous singles March and Numbers, both of which have enjoyed overseas success of radio and whose videos have proved to be such provocative and challenging viewing. This tradition will continue with the release of a new single for radio July and another video Exodus, which is scheduled for the end of January.
DateMonthYear are a proudly independent music making organisation, and the music on this collection is intended to be a collection of songs to be heard together. The mood changes from the melancholy of Numbers, though the aggression of ‘Flowers’ to the ten-minute atmospherics end piece South. In true DateMonthYear independence style, the physical copies of this album are the only way to hear the full versions of many of these songs.
Faville has steered DateMonthYear through many years and many albums- writing, producing, marketing the music and executive producer of all five music videos. DateMonthYear has had music licensed to TV ads and movies worldwide, been played extensively on Independent radio around the globe, written and performed music for live theatre and with symphony orchestras. It's been quite a journey, and by no means is it over. This collection of songs is a summary of the past few years, and the groundwork for the next two albums of material is already done. Faville stands firm on a staunchly independent approach- a singular vision and a total disregard for what passes for standard industry practice.
The new album begins its release from December the 1st. With a physical release of the CD available only from their website.
