One of my favorite British bands New Model Army are set to release their 12th full length album entitled Between Dog And Wolf. The album is suppose to come out in September and i’m looking forward to hearing it since their last album was awesome. Justin Sullivan and company will also be setting out on a European tour in support of the release as well. No word yet on any USA dates but I’m hopeful we’ll get to see them play by the end of the year or at least the beginning of 2014. Maybe they can convince The Levellers to tour the USA with them?

New Model Army, have announced the title of their hotly anticipated 12th Studio album. The self-produced set was finished earlier this year in Los Angeles with Joe Barresi mixing, (Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age, Tool.) The record marks a major evolution in their sound.

Entitled “Between Dog and Wolf” the album is filled with multi-layered drums and atmospheric musical textures while sacrificing none of the band’s famous passion and song-writing skills. The album is scheduled for release in September.

Says founder, lead Singer and main songwriter Justin Sullivan:

“After a series of purist ‘rock-band-in-a-room’ albums over the last eight years, we felt it was time to do something a bit different and sonically this is the best album we’ve ever made. The title comes from a medieval French expression for dusk – when it’s hard to distinguish between dog and wolf, friend or foe. That sense of contradiction represents the band very well and there’s also something of this sense of transformation in the album”.

A feature-film documentary on the history of the band directed by Royal Television Society Award winning Director Matt Reid, which has been over 3 years in the making, is in the final stages of editing for release in September, coinciding with the album.

The album is a testament to the spirit of rebirth that has grown since the fire which destroyed the studio, and the theft of much the band’s remaining equipment in 2011. To celebrate it’s release the band are proud to announce their biggest tour since the 30th anniversary shows.

Says Justin Sullivan: “It’s always good to be back on the road – and the current atmosphere in the band is the most hungry and upbeat that I can remember. We’re really looking forward to this.”
