Elliott Brood To Release 'Work And Love,' The Follow-Up To Juno Award-Winning Album, Oct. 21 (Paper Bag Records)

KEXP Premieres First New Song "Jigsaw Heart": http://shorefi.re/1pY7dx8

On October 21, Toronto trio Elliott BROOD will release their new album, 'Work and Love' (Paper Bag Records), the follow-up to 'Days Into Years,' which won a Juno Award in 2013 for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year. For 'Work and Love,' Elliott BROOD withdrew to a farmhouse in Bath, Ontario where they recorded nine songs in two weeks with producer Ian Blurton (The Weakerthans, Amy Millan)- their first time working with an outside producer. The result is their most personal and urgent album to date, with rock influences that nod as much to Neil Young & Crazy Corse, as much as Richard Buckner and Whiskeytown. KEXP just premiered "Jigsaw Heart," the first new song from 'Work and Love,' calling itthe band's "most adventurous album to date." Listen here: http://shorefi.re/1pY7dx8

On 'Work and Love,' Elliott BROOD's two songwriters Casey Laforet and Mark Sasso decided to mine the bare histories of their own lives: penning verses about the ends of relationships and the tests of adulthood, long drives, childhood retreating in a rear-view mirror. 'Work and Love' also serves as a eulogy for the moments on the doorstep of manhood: first loves, lost loves, and young men's just desserts. Select tracks on the album feature Aaron Goldstein (City and Colour) on pedal steel and John Dinsmore (Kathleen Edwards, Sarah Harmer) on bass. 'Work and Love' is Elliott BROOD at their sheerest, facing forward and backward at the same time.

Elliott BROOD have confirmed pre-release shows at NYC's Rockwood Music Hall on 9/17, D.C's Black Cat Backstage on 9/18 and the Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion in Bristol, TN on 9/20-21 (full schedule below). More dates will soon be announced.
