Update from the road!
So much has happened:
- we played SXSW, got a ton of great press from places like Pitchfork and Brooklyn Vegan
- we’ve been on the road since the beginning of March with Today is the Day, Black Tusk and Fight Amp
- ‘Entrench’ was released and has been getting crazy reviews (Pitchfork, Popmatters, Metal Injection, No Ripcord, Exclaim!, About.com, Steelforbrains, etc)
- Alarm Magazine published an interview with Ben Bonner on the making of the art: http://alarm-magazine.com/2013/ken-mode-cover-artist-ben-bonner-discusses-his-crazy-massive-cloud-ghoul-sculpture/
- We confirmed Pitchfork Music Festival July 19-21 in Chicago
- We updated our tour dates with MANY more to come
Pre-orders
The album is out on Tuesday.
You can order it from us by going to the STORE tab (all orders will ship as we are able to get stock to Winnipeg – recognize that we’re on tour right now, so there will be delays), and head to http://kenmode.bandcamp.com/ to pre-order the digital version from us.
To mailorder from Season of Mist is available here http://e-shop.season-of-mist.com/en/bands/ken-mode/1542
That’s the best way to get vinyl in a timely manner, as we’re still unsure when we’ll be receiving copies for tour.
Again, see the TOUR DATES tab for all dates with Today is the Day, Black Tusk, Fight Amp, Keelhaul & Ringworm.
Full album stream up now on Pitchfork!
Head to Pitchfork Advance to listen to the ENTIRE new album: http://pitchfork.com/advance/42-entrench/
