El Ten Eleven announce new album 'New Year’s Eve,' release new single “Meta Metta”
Los Angeles post-rock act El Ten Eleven have announced their new album today.
New Year’s Eve will be released on March 4 via Joyful Noise Recordings. The six-track release was produced by Sonny DiPerri, who is best known for their work with DIIV and Portugal The Man. The first single from the album titled “Meta Metta” comes with a music video filmed at The Cube in Los Angeles. Bassist Kristian Dunn discussed the forthcoming album:
“New Year’s Eve is a reference to guarded optimism about what is to come. At the time, it seemed like our national divisiveness might be waning and the end of the pandemic was near. But of course that’s not how it turned out. That’s what New Year’s Eves are. You think it’s gonna be a fun night, but usually it’s disappointing at the end.
I’m a huge fan of disco music, and I mean that completely sincerely. I’m a bass player, so the bass is often the driving lead instrument of disco music, so that appealed to me--that’s just in my blood. This love was always in me, and it was time for it to come out. The album is kinda funky and kinda dancy, but with my sad boy Kristian Dunn crap on top.”
Pre-orders for New Year’s Eve can be made here. This is the follow-up to the act’s Tautology trilogy in 2020.
Starting this week, El Ten Eleven will embark on a headlining tour across the United States. In May, the act will head to Europe for a string of headlining performances and festival appearances. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.
