The Glitch Mob Hitting The Road

04/02/2010
. Selling out major venues from coast to coast simply by word of mouth, The Glitch Mob has become a festival favorite, rocking crowds from Lollapalooza to Red Rocks to upcoming key slots at Coachella and Ultra with their visceral, innovative performances.

And this spring, the L.A.-based trio embarks on their first full nationwide tour in support of The Glitch Mob's debut album release Drink The Sea, due May 25 on the band's own Glass Air label. Drink The Sea represents

The Glitch Mob's transformation up from the underground into a more widescreen vision: from the cryptic cover art (courtesy Sonny Kay, famed for his work with Mars Volta) to the kaleidoscopic dimension of the music inside, Drink The Sea evokes a voyage into the unexpected�including sonic waters previously unexplored by the band itself.

Then again, The Glitch Mob "sound" has always been a continually mutating concept, always pushing new boundaries as the group evolves. Drink The Sea arrives after years of intermittent yet acclaimed releases�spanning widely passed-around Internet mixtapes like the infamous Crush Mode to triumphant official remixes for TV On The Radio, Ed Banger's Krazy Baldhead and Evil Nine featuring El-P.
