Guster prep new album

Posted by Greg , Friday, July 30, 2010 8:51 AM

Guster are set to release their six full-length album, Easy Wonderful, on October 5 on Aware/Universal Republic Records.  "Bad Bad World" is available for free download here.  Check the news section for tour dates and more information.



From the band's official announcement:

HOLY SHIT, GUSTERRHOIDS !

OUR NEW ALBUM, "EASY WONDERFUL" IS COMING OUT OCTOBER 5TH ON AWARE/UNIVERSAL REPUBLIC RECORDS

I've been waiting two years to announce that. At some points this recording process was neither Easy nor Wonderful for the Gusters, but we persevered and came out on top. Our new album is twelve songs deep, simultaneously adventurous pop and classic Guster. The "results are in the pudding" -- as it is said -- we couldn't be more proud of where we ended up. Here's your track list:

1. Architects & Engineers
2. Do You Love Me
3. On the Ocean
4. This Could All Be Yours
5. Stay with Me Jesus
6. Bad Bad World
7. This Is How It Feels to Have a Broken Heart
8. What You Call Love
9. That's No Way to Get to Heaven
10. Jesus and Mary
11. Hercules
12. Do What You Want

We've only played a few of them live, so go ahead and analyze the titles all you want, it won't help. Yes, some long and awkward names in there. Yes, two more songs with the word "Jesus" in them from a band of chosen ones.

It's hard to believe that Ganging Up on the Sun came out four years ago, but for Guster fans, the wait is almost over.
