Generationals join Polyvinyl and announce new album
by DJ Ones on Jan.08, 2013, under Daytime
Information has released on the new album from the New Orleans rock duo Generationals. Their next album, the follow-up to the amazing Actor-Castor, will be released on April 4. Titled Heza, this will be their first album on their new record label, Polyvinyl, who also announced they will be joining the label on the same day information on the new album was released. Additionally, Generationals released their newest single, a track titled “Spinoza.” They will be leaving their previous record label Park the Van in order to make this transition. Generationals will be joining the likes of Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu, and Japandroids at Polyvinyl. We’ll just have to wait and see if joining a larger independent label means more success musically.
Listen to their single “Spinoza” below:
