Drive-By Truckers will release their new album “English Oceans” through ATO Records on March 7th. The band’s 12th release is an elegantly balanced and deeply engaged new effort that finds the group refreshed and firing on all cylinders.

“English Oceans” was recorded over 13 days at Chase Park Transduction Studios in Athens, GA with their longtime producer, David Barbe. Cooley fans will be happy that he brought six new songs to the sessions and this record marks the first time that Cooley sings a song penned by Patterson Hood on ‘Til He’s Dead or Rises.’

The album was recorded with a compact, retooled lineup. Jay Gonzalez, who joined the band in 2008 as keyboardist, has added guitar to his duties, while bassist Matt Patton was drafted from the Tuscaloosa group The Dexateens. “It’s a very tasteful group, and when it needs to be it can be a very big, powerful, over-the-top band, too, and it can go from one to the other seamlessly,” says Hood.

Drive By Truckers are a legendary Southern Rock band with an established fan base. The album is one of Stereogum's Most Anticipated albums of 2014.
