RODRIGO Y GABRIELA Share New Single "Egoland"; Audio

Grammy Award-winning guitar virtuosos, Rodrigo y Gabriela, return with their second single, "Egoland", from their upcoming landmark new album. The single elaborates on the sonic and spiritual explorations of the album with unexpected elements enhancing their characteristic guitar proficiency including reverb-drenched slide guitar.

In Between Thoughts...A New World, will arrive everywhere via ATO Records on Friday, April 21. The band is also offering a deluxe version of the album on vinyl exclusively at rodgab.com. This limited edition of 2,000 units includes all 9 Stages tracks on an opaque “Galaxy” custom color LP in addition to the album on a translucent “Galaxy” custom color LP in a gatefold package. All pre-orders are available now.

Listen to "Egoland" below:

Rodrigo y Gabriela’s eagerly awaited follow-up to 2019’s Mettavolution and first full-length collection in four years, In Between Thoughts...A New World arrives as one of the duo’s most revelatory offerings yet - a spontaneously composed unified work primed to bring about the same expansion of consciousness that inspired its creation.

Self-produced by Rodrigo y Gabriela at their studio in Ixtapa, Mexico, the album - which sees the guitar duo expanding their traditional approach to include inventive electronic and orchestral elements - was heralded by the first single, “Descending To Nowhere”, available now at all DSPs and streaming services. An official music video, directed by acclaimed Mexican filmmaker/broadcaster Olallo Rubio, can be viewed below.

Tracklisting:

"True Nature"
"The Eye That Catches The Dream"
"Egoland"
"Descending To Nowhere"
"Seeking Unreality"
"The Ride Of The Mind"
"Broken Rage"
"Finding Myself Leads Me To You"
