California rockers Tesla will release their new album, “Simplicity”, on June 6 in Europe.
The group’s seventh all-original studio album was produced by the band with some help from legendary producer Tom Zutaut.
The first new song off the new album, "Taste My Pain", was released last summer digitally via iTunes and Amazon. The track was recorded during a two-day (June 5-6, 2013) session at J Street Recorders in Sacramento.
After a string of shows in the USA in 2013, the band went back into the studio earlier thgis year and completed a the full album project.
"I must say that this new Tesla album is really gonna be awesome,” says guitarist Frank Hannon. “We went in more prepared with the songs and ideas way more than [2008’s] 'Forever More', and the style is pure Tesla back to our roots. I truly believe you guys are gonna love it!"
"The opening track is called 'MP3'," continues Hannon, "and starts off with an opus intro that orchestrates into a heavy slow groove with lyrics about technology and how we miss simplicity, vinyl albums, family values...and has a heavy-ass riff! Then we segue into a rock and roll song called 'Ricochet' that talks about Uncle Ted... [I] can't wait to play this stuff live!”
A North American release date for “Simplicity” is to be announced.
