Perennial WTD fave Old Earth (aka Tod Umhoefer) has been working hard on a new album entitled A Wake in the Wells. It’s being released by the lovely/great/amazing people over at mini50 Records.
The press release promises “an album of mature focus and intensity” and a record “propelled by innovation, competition, and a sense of hustle more associated with hip hop than folk rock”. Like previous Old Earth releases, A Wake in the Wells will feature contributions from some of Milwaukee’s finest musicians, including regular collaborators Nick Berg and Chris Porterfield (of Field Report) and Jon Meuller of Volcano Choir.
The album is due for release on the 31st August. You can pre-order it now via mini50, either as a download, or 12″ vinyl. This is not the work of some multi-national major label, so pre-orders are vital to cover the costs of production. The album is also guaranteed to be great, so grab yourself a copy of the vinyl, and everyone is a winner.
Expect to hear a lot more from us about this album in the coming months.
