By: Caryn Robbins Sep. 08, 2014
Today (9/8), FLYLEAF-the five-piece, multi-platinum alternative rock band-have partnered with Yahoo! Music to exclusively premiere the band's fourth studio album BETWEEN THE STARS, out September 16 via Loud & Proud Records. You can listen HERE. FLYLEAFrecorded the album-12 songs rooted in powerful vocal melodies, driving bass and drums along with bold guitar work that create a heavy, hypnotic soundscape throughout-in Los Angeles with producer Don Gilmore (Pearl Jam, Linkin Park, Bullet For My Valentine, Avril Lavigne). BETWEEN THE STARS is available for pre-order on iTunes HERE and Amazon HERE.
KRISTEN MAY tells Yahoo!, "we explored the idea of the attraction or magnetism you can feel with someone you love; how incredibly powerful that force of nature can be. Even if you're apart, you still feel them as if they are right by your side. They can fill up the dark parts in you. They remind you why you're living, make you happier than anyone else and inspire you with a glance. It's pretty incredible when you realize the power we have to love and be loved as humans and how we can feel so drawn or attracted to that object of our affection. It's a gift." SAMEER BHATTACHARYA adds, "the creation of Between The Stars was exhilarating and emotional. We delved uninhibited into the music and lyrics realizing the awesome empowerment and releasing the heavy burdens that lie hidden in deep corners of our hearts."
