New York, NY (Top40 Charts) GRAMMY Award-winning guitar virtuosos Rodrigo y Gabriela have returned with their second single, "Egoland," from their upcoming landmark new album. The single elaborates on the sonic and spiritual explorations of the album with unexpected elements enhancing their characteristic guitar proficiency including reverb-drenched slide guitar.
In Between Thoughts...A New World, will arrive everywhere via ATO Records on Friday, April 21. The band is also offering a deluxe version of the album on vinyl exclusively. This limited edition of 2,000 units includes all 9 Stages tracks on an opaque "
Galaxy" custom color LP in addition to the album on a translucent "
Galaxy" custom color LP in a gatefold package. All pre-orders are available now.
Rodrigo y Gabriela's eagerly awaited follow-up to 2019's GRAMMY® Award-winning Mettavolution and first full-length collection in four years, In Between Thoughts...A New World arrives as one of the duo's most revelatory offerings yet - a spontaneously composed unified work primed to bring about the same expansion of consciousness that inspired its creation.
Self-produced by Rodrigo y Gabriela at their studio in Ixtapa, Mexico, the album - which sees the guitar duo expanding their traditional approach to include inventive electronic and orchestral elements - was heralded by their first single, "Descending To Nowhere," available now on all DSPs. An official music video, directed by acclaimed Mexican filmmaker/broadcaster Olallo Rubio, is streaming on YouTube.
Consequence premiered the song and video with an in-depth and illuminating "
Origins" feature, while Paste featured it in its best 10 songs of February list saying the song has "an irresistible groove that builds and ebbs as it showcases delicious electric licks and the promised orchestral swells."
The song was the #1 most added at college radio and is currently getting airplay at tastemaker stations such as KCRW (LA), The Current (Minneapolis), KUTX (Austin), BBC
Radio 6 (UK),
Radio FIP (France), and Radionica (Colombia).
Rodrigo y Gabriela will mark the arrival of In Between Thoughts...A New World with a robust international touring schedule that includes a North American headline tour set to get underway May 18 at Houston, TX's Smart Financial Centre and then continues until early July.
Highlights include performances at such renowned venues as London's Roundhouse (April 24), Los Angeles, CA's YouTube Theatre (June 1), Morrison, CO's Red Rocks Amphitheatre (June 11), Nashville, TN's Ryman Auditorium (June 19), Brooklyn, NY's
