Springing forward from two highly successful projects on Tooth & Nail Records, Thousand Foot Krutch rocks it with their new studio album The Flame in All of Us releasing September 18th. Remaining true to their alternative rock style while taking on new musical risks, TFK has created a sonically diverse and three-dimensional album listeners will grab hold.
“I feel as excited about this record as I did about music when I was a kid,” lead vocalist Trevor McNevan says. “There’s definitely a new energy. It feels like we’re just getting started. We feel that way as a band.”
“The Flame in All of Us” encompasses the heart pumping adrenaline the band creates during their live show that fans know and love. Recording the drum, guitar, and bass tracks simultaneously in the same studio in Pasadena, California, captured this energy. Producer Ken Andrews (Chris Cornell, Pete Yorn, Tenacious D) was enlisted to string together the cleverly written project, which was recorded in a mere three weeks time.
“In more ways than one this is the most refreshing record we’ve made,” McNevan says. “My favourite albums are the ones with lots of contrast that you can listen to front to back, that take you on a journey. And I believe the strongest bands are the ones that a listener can grow up with.”
Making this release refreshing is a central theme of unification throughout beginning with its title and opening track, The Flame in All of Us. An ambitious rocker elevated by a stop-in-your-tracks chorus featuring strings and a softer melody that refers to the common thread we have in human nature asking the same core group of questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What is life really all about?
Continuing with the theme of asking questions is the first CHR/AC single, What Do We Know? which should be a landmark song for Thousand Foot Krutch. Easily accessible, it’s a “What’s Going On” type of sing-along anthem for the post-modern world that is equally haunting and hopeful in its memorable use of a children’s choir.
Trevor explains, “The song starts out waking up the morning of 9/11, and it refers to events like Hurricane Katrina, the Virginia Tech tragedy, Tsunami and the major catastrophes that have happened in the last few years that have made us all, no matter what you believe, stand back and say, “Wow, we’re not in control here.”
Thousand Foot Krutch will be out on tour with TobyMac for the fall tour. The band is also performing at major festivals across the North America this summer including Alive Inside this weekend in Duncan, BC and Freedom Fest in Oro (Barrie), Ontario the weekend of August 17th.
A Special Edition CD/DVD set will also be available. The bonus DVD will feature behind the scenes footage, tour footage, alternate song versions and a bonus track.
