Fat Wreck Chords has announced the release of a brand new Swingin' Utters two song 7 inch "The Librarians Are Hiding Something" will be out on November 6th as a precursor to a new full length due out early 2013.
From Fat Wreck...
When the Swingin’ Utters released Here, Under Protest last April after an 8 year wait, we were stoked. Then, they started touring again and we dreamed, oh but a little, that they would keep going. Lo and behold, they just finished recording another new full length record, due out early next year! While that isn’t quite ready, a brand new two song 7” is! The Librarians Are Hiding Something will be out on November 6th, and what’s particularly cool about this single is that the A-side is a nice precursor to what can be expected from the full length. It’s the first appearance of new bassist Miles Peck on an Utters record AND marks Jack Dalrymple’s debut as a songwriter for the band, as he and vocalist Johnny Bonnel co-wrote Librarians. We really should be calling this a Double A-side record, as the flipside, Rude Little Rooms, is a classic Darius Koski composition, but only available on this single, while a new mix of The Librarians Are Hiding Something will show up on the upcoming full length. Additionally, this is a limited edition pressing. Stay focused folks, the operative word is “limited edition”. We are not pressing a lot of these. Keep your eyes peeled for our pre-order, we’ll be announcing it soon.
Read what Johnny had to say below:
"I’ll simply say it is one of the happiest times in my years with Swingin’ Utters. Being able to create music with these dudes is pretty exciting and I’m looking forward to writing more!"
Below was an earlier update from the band about recording..
"We’ve been hunkering down, writing a shitload of songs for our next record. We’re going to spend the month of May in the studio, and so we HOPE to have it out on Fat Wreck sometime early Autumn, right around the time your kids get back to school… We’ll let you all know of the exact release date once we’ve got one! It’s an exciting release for us, as Jack Dalrymple has already contributed several songs (for the first time as an Utter), and there are more to come. It’s also the first time we’ve ever recorded a proper record in Santa Cruz, where we formed some 24 years ago. Yes, we are that old.
On another note, we’re also going into the studio to record a few songs for a couple of upcoming 7″‘s, one on Fat, and the other a split with Modern Action on their label."
