专辑介绍

Flyleaf are set to release their new album, Between the Stars – their first full-length with new lead vocalist Kristen May on September 16th through Loud and Proud Records. The album was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Doug Gilmore (Pearl Jam, Linkin Park, Bullet For My Valentine, Avril Lavigne).

Flyleaf and Kristen May found each other at just the right time. You could chalk it up to serendipity. Pulled together during a mutual moment of uncertainty, the frontwoman and the band's original core Sameer Bhattacharya [guitar], Jared Hartmann [guitar], Pat Seals [bass], and James Culpepper [drums] immediately thrust themselves into creating what would become the group's fourth full-length album and first for Loud & Proud Records, Between The Stars.

That new beginning also entailed another first for the group, the production talents of the iconic Don Gilmore [Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Avril Lavigne]. With Gilmore behind the board, they captured a certain magic that proved both passionate and palpable.

Music comes to life when it must. It lies dormant and then blossoms in its creator at just the right moment. For Flyleaf, that was definitely the case when they began making their fourth full-length album. “Between The Stars” will be released on October 31st, 2014 on earMUSIC under exclusive license to Loud & Proud Records.

You could chalk it up to serendipity, but it simply feels meant to be. Seizing that spirit, the band — Kristen May [vocals], Sameer Bhattacharya [guitar], Jared Hartmann [guitar], Pat Seals [bass], and James Culpepper [drums] — immediately thrust themselves into the creative process. The lyrics and Kristen's delivery matched the heavy, hypnotic soundscapes that the band conjured up in the studio. Everything solidified into a clear and cohesive vision.

Flyleaf sought out the production talents of the iconic Don Gilmore [Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Avril Lavigne], holing up in a Los Angeles studio with him for a month during the spring of 2014. With Gilmore behind the board, they captured a certain "magic" that proved both passionate and palpable.

For proof, look no further than the first single "Set Me On Fire" - a brooding bass line builds along with an entrancing verse before igniting an undeniably incendiary chorus.

Kristen explains, “It’s about the passion we feel when we first fall in love and our emotions are running high, along with our thirst for this great life and all it has to offer. There is so much beauty, excitement and hope in this world and when we collide with one another and fall in love, magic happens. I hope everyone turns this song up to eleven, and sings at the top of their lungs.”

The fans have been with Flyleaf for the entire ride, beginning over a decade ago. Along the way, their self-titled debut went platinum and yielded the hit "All Around Me," which also moved over one million digital downloads. The record spent 133 weeks in the Billboard Top 200, climbing to the Top 15 of the Rock Albums and Alternative Albums charts as well. Its follow-up, “Memento Mori”, saw the group crack the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200. They've touched down for shows everywhere from Afghanistan, where they played for the troops, to sold out gigs around the U.S. alongside everybody from Rage Against The Machine to Deftones to Cage The Elephant.

Ultimately, that audience remains closer to the musicians' hearts than ever before.

“This album is a reminder that we're alive,” Sameer declares. “Embrace life now. That's a recurring theme since our inception. We want people to know they're alive, they're loved, and there's hope. That's what we want to share."

Kristen concludes, "I hope it's an album people can listen to for years to come. We put our hearts and souls into it, and I want them to hear that."
