Painted Shield announce new album 'Painted Shield 3,' release new single “Transector"
Seattle rock supergroup Painted Shield have announced their third studio album.
Revealed on Monday, Painted Shield 3 is set for a July 26 release on Loosegroove Records. To celebrate the announcement, the band delivered their new single “Transector." Stone Gossard said this about the new song, which can be heard below:
“Three records in and Painted Shield keeps flipping the script and morphing in real time. How'd I get so lucky to be able to work with these four talented, adventurous artists, including our producer Josh Evans? This song inhabits some 80s throwback portion of our psyches, and highlights the dual vocal artistry of both Mason and Brittany. I love how this song started as a single guitar riff and kept growing, as more layers and points of view were added. It's a beaut.”
Mason Jennings said this about the forthcoming album:
“The evolution of Painted Shield has been very fun and exciting. Each album has pushed the boundaries of genre farther and Painted Shield 3 is our most expansive and collaborative album yet. I feel like this is the sound of a band really finding our legs and emerging. The sky is the limit. Painted Shield 3 is a musical universe unto itself. Very excited to share it!”
Vinyl pre-orders for Painted Shield 3 can be made here.
On Saturday, March 2, Painted Shield will perform at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre as part of Loosegroove Records Presents: A Loosegroove Revue, which will also feature performances from The Brittany Davis Band, Mason Jennings, Jonny Polonsky, and Zoser.
