La Dispute announced today that they will release a revamped 10-year anniversary edition of their breakthrough debut full-length Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair. Re-released November 9, 2018 via the band's original label, No Sleep Records, the album boasts re-amped guitars from the original recording files by Grammy-nominated recording vet Will Yip (Code Orange, Circa Survive, The Menzingers), a new mix by Dave Schiffman (Charlie XCX, Trash Talk, Thrice), and was re-mastered by Emily Lazar (Morrissey, Beck, Coldplay). The new version also comes with re-imagined artwork by Corey Purvis.
Pre-order for the album is available via No Sleep Records, and the band shared the new version of "The Castle Builders" today for fans to hear in advance of the anniversary edition release. La Dispute will embark on a European tour this month, including appearances at ArcTangent Festival, Reading & Leeds, and Pukkelpop. Following that, the band announced a full US tour with Circa Survive this week which kicks off at the end of October (all tour dates below).
Somewhere at the Bottom... has influenced countless post-hardcore and emo bands since its release 10 years ago, becoming an instant classic in the modern underground music cannon. The culmination of sleepless nights and exhausting recording sessions, the album's raw, frantic guitar work and captivating lyricism created a debut album that captured the power and promise of an unyielding young band poised to break out.
