Animals as Leaders Reveal 'The Madness of Many' Album + Tour

The fall just got a little more awesome! That's because Animals as Leaders are on their way back with new music and a late year tour as well. The band just announced that their new album, The Madness of Many, will be released by Sumerian Records on Nov. 11.

The band's fourth studio album is a 10-track offering self-produced by the band, with guitarist Javier Reyes handling mixing duties. Reyes says, "The Madness of Many is an explorative and ambitious journey of harmony, rhythm, musical expression and emotion. It has been the most collaborative effort for the band and an evolution in each of the members’ musical path."

Fellow guitarist Tosin Abasi adds of the new disc, "This album feels like total synergy between the three of us. None of this music would have turned out the same way without the equal inclusion of all of our musical ideas and that feel special. We're beyond thrilled with the result." Drummer Matt Garstka added that he feels that "although conceptually dense, it is the most natural sounding Animals as Leaders album yet." The full track listing for the disc can be seen below.

As stated, Animals as Leaders will also be touring in support of the album. They start their trek on Nov. 10, the eve of the album release, in Scottsdale, Ariz. The five-week trek will also feature Intervals and Plini in the opening slots. See the stops below.
