MUSIC NEWS - Orem, Utah rocker's, The Used, who've been exciting fans by with new songs at the Bamboozle and Bamboozle Left Festivals and at their recent headlining shwos, have announced the release of their 4th studio album, Artwork, for a September 1, 2009 release via Reprise Records. And, starting July 21, a deluxe pre-order package of the album will be available at their website.
Produced by Matt Squire, Artwork is said to be a raw collection of eleven songs that not so delicately teeter the line between being aggressively discordant and charmingly hooky. The first single, “Blood On My Hands” premiered June 30 and sold over five thousand copies on day one and shot to #9 on the iTunes Alternative Chart. The track, which guitarist Quinn Allman describes as the song that “sums up everything about The Used
“This record is more sincere,” Allman says. “It’s got a sound more reminiscent of the first record. Lyrically, it completely engulfs you and makes you feel safe but it’s all about feeling alone and empty and knowing there’s always a light. If you’re frustrated that much it means you care that much. The lyrics carry you through the record and you’re right with Bert and where he’s at. The music isn’t showing off. It’s just being what it is. I think the fans will appreciate all that.”
