Austin's art-rock punks ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail Of Dead return with their eleventh album – XI: Bleed Here Now! It was recorded in the historic quadraphonic sound, giving listeners an immersive listening experience that will take them through a listening journey from one track to the next. Produced by Trail's own Conrad Keely alongside engineer Charles Godfrey.
An unlikely but powerful combination of punk fury and prog rock ambition, AYWKUBTTOD started out as fiery iconoclasts and gradually refined their attack over their multi-decade career without losing any of their passion. In the late ‘90s, their cathartic live shows and propensity to destroy their gear translated to early manifestos like 1999's Madonna, but when they added more control and polish to their music on 2002's landmark major-label debut Source Tags & Codes, they created one of the most epic alternative rock albums of the early 2000s - a time when epic rock wasn't exactly fashionable. Their fondness for grand gestures, as well as the intricate yet expansive sounds of Pink Floyd and Yes, informed later works such as 2005's Worlds Apart, and their maverick spirit led them to release several albums, including 2009's The Century of Self, on their own imprint.
The band stayed true to their fervent yet philosophical approach in the 2010s and beyond, resulting in triumphs like 2011's Tao of the Dead and 2020's X: The Godless Void and Other Stories, and now with XI: Bleed Here Now.
