New Model Army continue to enjoy the success that followed the release of their last album Between Dog and Wolf and are set to capitalise on it further with the announcement of a new record. With drummer Michael Dean being sidelined for a time with blood clots last year, the band used the time to record Between Wine and Blood. Set for release on 8th September it is both a brand new studio mini-album of 6 new songs and an 11 track live album recorded on the band's Between Dog and Wolf tour.
Founding member Justin Sullivan said:
When we finished 'Between Dog and Wolf' we wanted to keep the momentum going, and with Michael being unwell, the time became available to get back in the studio earlier than planned. Michael was there writing and co-producing whilst he recuperated. The result is an eclectic and immediate sounding New Model Army mini-album and feels to us like a logical move on from 'Between Dog and Wolf's experimentation.
As with Between Dog and Wolf the album was mixed by Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool). When asked about working with Barresi again, Justin had the following to say:
it was a pleasure again - and beginning to feel very much as if Joe's part of the NMA family.
