Audio samples of all the songs that are set to appear on THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA‘s upcoming album, “Transit Blues”, can be streamed below. The CD will be released on October 7 via Rise Records.

The band retreated to both Watertown, Wisconsin and Sawyer, Michigan last winter to write “Transit Blues”, for the first time living and creating in a shared, full time space. They re-teamed with “Space” producer Dan Korneff (PIERCE THE VEIL, MOTIONLESS IN WHITE) in the spring of 2016 to record the 11-track effort. Overall, the album reflects themes of transition, separation, and mourning.

Speaking about the direction of “Transit Blues”, frontman Mike Hranica told Clrvynt: “When I hear older PRADA recordings and such, this super-clean Auto-Tune bullshit kicks in, and I kind of quiver. Like, ‘Why is that there? What’s the point?’

“With 2009’s ‘Roots Above And Branches Below’ is where I started writing ‘choruses’ with all screaming because I liked that in heavier music, and then on ‘Space’, the singing came out of left field.

“Hopefully with ‘Transit Blues’, it’s a bit more where it’s this element that’s very organic, as opposed to, ‘Here’s the pop chorus, ta-da.'”

To support the release, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADAHranica, Jeremy DePoyster (guitar, vocals), Andy Trick (bass), Kyle Sipress (guitar), joined by Giuseppe Capolupo (drums) and Jonathan Gering (keyboards) — will kick off “The Rise Up Tour” on October 11, co-headlining with MEMPHIS MAY FIRE. SILVERSTEIN and LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES will open all shows.
