California’s trio The New Slave, comprising Craig M Clarke, Daniel Crowell and Troy James, are set to release a new album entitled Bringing You a Brighter Tomorrow. The effort will see the light of day on March 11th via Raw Onion Records in Europe and a day later in the US via Three Ring Records.

According to the press release, Bringing You a Brighter Tomorrow is a “positive and hopeful full-length album” that saw The New Slave embracing the idea of feeling good and trying to “find the pathway to hope, even if it means travelling through a haze of depressive and self-medicated sounds”.

The album features guest contributions from Jace Lasek of The Besnard Lakes, Josh Babcock and Mike Evans of The Society of Rockets and Belta Fleischmann of D.W. Holiday. Lasek had previously performed, mixed and produced The New Slave’s eponymous debut album in 2009.

Earlier this month, the threesome unleashed the first excellent feel good single from the album, ‘Golden Summer Smile’. Released as a three-track EP, Golden Summer Smile comes backed with two B-sides, which you can grab free or on a pay-what-you-want basis via their bandcamp.
