 “In this millennium, there are seldom few ‘rock bands’ creating music with a shelf-life. Band of Skulls appear to be in this game for the long haul.”—Paste
Band of Skulls’ new album,  Himalayan , will be released April 1 and is now available for  pre-order  (Electric Blues Recordings via Kobalt Label Services). Already receiving critical acclaim, NME selected the debut single, “Asleep At The Wheel,” as one of their “20 Essential New Tracks,” praising, “Like The Black Keys at their meanest, it stomps away before propelling itself into a riff of Black Sabbath standards…” Additionally, the single’s official music video recently premiered at  Vevo .
In celebration of the release, the band will perform special shows in L.A. (on sale December 13 at 1:00 P.M. EST) and Brooklyn (on sale December 13 at 12:00 P.M. EST) followed by a headlining European tour. An extensive tour of North America will be announced soon. See below for complete details.
Produced by Nick Launay (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arcade Fire, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), the album was recorded during the summer of 2013 in Richmond, London at State of the Ark studios.
The new album follows 2012’s Sweet Sour, which debuted at #14 on the U.K. album chart and received widespread acclaim—NME praised, “Proficient, precision-executed blues-rock,” while Consequence of Sound praised, “sizzles with muscle-driven, sludgy honest-to-goodness rock.” In the years since, the band has toured alongside Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Black Keys, The Dead Weather and Muse and sold-out two headlining shows at London’s The Roundhouse and Brixton Academy.
