When asked about the new album, the band had this to say:
 From the crowded streets of Phnom Penh to the vast empty landscape of West Texas...we have cut through...burned through...and followed through to reach you...From the heat of the desert...to the heat of your city's sprawling squall...This transmission is here to transport and ruin you.  It is the release of your mortal coil...Just let the rain wash it away from the mountains...down to the motherfucking sea...wash it away ...blow it all away and check this moment out.
On the upcoming European run …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead will be joined by Canada’s Your Favorite Enemies as well as Midnight Masses – a band featuring and formed by Autry Fulbright and Jason Reece of …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead.  Midnight Masses released their debut album  Departures at the end of July and the fall run will be the band’s live European debut.  You can check out the Midnight Masses video for “Broken Mirrors” (featuring Haley Dekle ofDirty Projectors) here:  http://www.stereogum.com/1691678/midnight-masses-broken-mirror-video-stereogum-premiere/video/.
