Los Angeles, California-based metallers HORSE THE BAND have issued the following update:

"We're about to sign to a new label! I think it is a good home for us. It has other bands that we like and a super-legit history of other bands that we LOOOVE. Can you guess it?

We're supposed to record our new album in March and release it worldwide in late May/early June. Here is the most insane part, I emailed Jamie Stewart from XIU XIU and it looks like (not for sure yet) he is going to be producing. The album is supposedly going to be kinda devastating new wavy with blue collar 80s movie soundtracks hovering close to mind, with some more fucked-sounding blurbly game boy than previous outings, lots of oberheim, lots of synth brass, lots of spazz and fast, wrenching, a bit more light-hearted yet at times completely sickening, and concentrating on melody and having every riff on the album be able to stand on its own.

Our videographer, Gary LaChance just started working six hours a day on the Earth Tour DVD. This thing is going to be a double-DVD monster. We're going to do one Live DVD of edited footage from all the best shows, with a track for each song we played on the tour. And the second DVD, which will probably be a double layer cause there's so much shit is going to be the story of the whole tour and everything you would expect/not expect to happen to us, kind of like our old DVD but we're older, with more experienced livers, a bad attitude, and sexier bone structure that comes with age. When that comes out you will know about it.

So, we should know really soon our exact recording dates. If we have enough time we're going to do a South American tour in April after we record. It looks like we'll be back in Europe starting May 8th for all your early summer festivals, and we're going to play a lot of shows in Russia and Ukraine again and visit some other crazy Eastern European places we haven't been. Hopefully culminating in Kazantip hahahahaahaah. Summer hopefully will be Warped Tour in the US. Then I don't know. But back to Europe in November!"
