Grammy nominated act Between The Buried and Me has had an impressive career and released 10 albums in their 25 years. The band recently announced their 11th album The Blue Nowhere will be out on September 12th via InsideOutRecords

Although Between The Buried and Me is known for their concept albums, vocalist/keyboardist Tommy Rogers says the album “exists in a world that’s not tied to a storyline. It’s more about a feeling, where the songs live for me.” He describes the lyrical approach to The Blue Nowhere as “journal entries, fleeting and introspective thoughts – chaotic at times, depending on the music.”

The band delivered a first look at the direction of the album with their first single Things We Tell Ourselves In The Dark and its accompanying music video.

Bassist Dan Briggs explained further on Things We Tell Ourselves In The Dark: “It’s one of the rare songs I started around the bass and that foundational funky idea, while also maintaining a pretty straightforward melodic idea underneath everything, no matter how dense it got rhythmically. I love when we have arrangements that feel like they have a page turn into another dimension, but I thought it was important for this one to feel really seamless as it moved dynamically. Even when it gets heavy, I thought it’d be fun at the core to still feel like it was Prince’s band playing, keeping it funky.”
