Archers of Loaf have announced the October 21 release of their first new full-length studio album in 24 years, Reason in Decline. Today we are excited to share the first single from the record, the thunderous, tension-filled “In the Surface Noise.” The band’s Eric Bachman notes “we didn’t intend for this song to be political and it was written through a personal lens but as sometimes happens the lyrics (‘what’s more for them ain’t less for you’) ended up being more universal.”

Though Archers of Loaf have played a handful of reunion shows in the past couple of decades, they are excited to embark on their first tour in support of Reason in Decline. The shows kick off November 29 in Baltimore and include stops in Philadelphia, Boston, Brooklyn, and Richmond before concluding in Asheville on December 4. Tickets are on sale this Friday, July 15, at 10am ET and all dates are listed below, with more to be confirmed. 

Archers of Loaf is Eric Bachmann (​​singer/guitar), Eric Johnson (guitar), Matt Gentling (bass), and Mark Price (drums).
