Burlington, NC - December 13, 2016 - North Carolina's BIG Something have premiered their new single "Tumbleweed" today via Live For Live Music. The song is the title track from the band's forthcoming album, which will be released via Truth Serum Records on February 24th, 2017 and is now available for pre-order. For more information, please visit: www.bigsomething.net.
On the new track, the drummer Ben Vinograd shares: "I love this song because it showcases the dynamic all the players in our band can bring to the table. From the opening line on, everyone has a chance to shine."
"'Tumbleweed' is the album's title track and inspiration for the cover art. The name 'tumbleweed' refers to the main character of the song who is fumbling aimlessly through a post-apocalyptic desert wasteland hallucinating on peyote," singer Nick MacDaniels adds."He's telling himself to just keep moving in order to survive."
A 6 piece powerhouse consisting of Ben Vinograd (drums), Doug Marshall (bass), Josh Kagel (keys, trumpet), Casey Cranford(saxophone, EWI), Jesse Henlsey (lead guitar), and Nick MacDaniels (vocals, guitar), BIG Something presents a sound that is both unique and timeless, fusing elements of rock, pop, funk, and improvisation to take listeners on a journey through a myriad of musical styles. It's no secret why this group has quickly become one of the most exciting new bands to emerge from the southeast; soaring guitars, synths, horns and alluring vocal hooks rise to the top of their infectious collection of songs and represent a sound that has caught the ears of such revered Summer circuit stalwarts as Galactic, moe., Robert Randolph, and even The B52s, who have all tapped BIG Something as direct support.
BIG Something has previously been featured on Relix Magazine, Guitar World, Glide Magazine, JamBase, ArtistDirect, and more. Their third full-length studio album - Truth Serum - was named 2014 Album of the Year by The Homegrown Music Network, making BIG Something the only band ever to win this award 3 times with 3 different releases (2010, 2013, and 2014).
Their forthcoming album Tumbleweed was recorded with the help of Grammy-nominated producer John Custer (Corrosion of Conformity, DAG, Cry of Love). On working with Custer, MacDaniels shares: "This was our 4th album working with our ever amazing producer - John Custer. He helped guide the project and these songs to new life in so many subtle but distinct ways. His ear for harmonies and little extra layers to enhance the production is mind blowing. He projects this zen state of 'badassness' and that always comes out in our performance and final mix too."
BIG Something will release their fourth studio album, Tumbleweed, on February 24th, 2017 via Truth Serum Records.
