Rubblebucket Announce New Album, Spring Tour



Rubblebucket will release their latest album Omega La La on June 7th, a follow-up to their 2009 self-titled sophomore album. For the new disc the Brooklyn eight-piece collaborated with producer/mixer Eric Broucek, best known for his work with Cut Copy, LCD Soundsystem, Hercules and Love Affair.

The album's first offering "Silly Fathers," with its sunny guitar chords and brass flourishes, channels both upbeat indie pop and jazz, an unconventional style the group explored on tracks like the giddy "Came Out Of A Lady," which has been reworked for the new release. The band also incorporates indie rock, pop and Afro-Cuban rhythms on other album tracks like "Down In The Yards," "L'homme" and "Raining."

Rubblebucket will also be hitting the road for an extensive spring tour set to kick off tonight in Cleveland. The band will make stops in Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington D.C. before wrapping the trek in July in Virginia. View the full tour schedule and listen to "Silly Fathers" below:
