World-renowned, multi-platinum alternative rockers EVERCLEAR have premiered ‘Sugar Noise’ with VICE –the third release from their upcoming ninth studio album, “Black Is The New Black”, out April 28th (The End Records/ADA). The vinyl release will follow on June 16.

“This is a very honest recording….No gimmicks. Not many bells and whistles. All the riffs on this record are things that really just resonated with me and the band, musically and lyrically – from the get-go.” –Everclear frontman Art Alexakis.

Check out the track below:

Everclear has sold over 3.6 million albums worldwide, including the band’s platinum commercial breakthrough, “Sparkle And Fade”, featuring the hit single ‘Heroin Girl,’ as well as the double platinum So Much For The Afterglow, which produced enduring radio staples like ‘I Will Buy You A New Life’ and ‘Father of Mine,’ as ubiquitous on the radio now as then.

“Black Is The New Black” is a diverse and timeless-sounding collection, without ballads and without nostalgia. This is a heavy guitar record. It’s a throwback to the potent passion and urgent delivery of Everclear’s heralded indie debut and subsequent major label classics, delivered through a modern lens. Across the album, the insistent kick of drummer Sean Winchester, athletic groove of bassist Freddy Herrera, ridiculously skilled guitar shred of Davey French, and tasteful keyboards from Josh Crawleyjoin forces with the autobiographical exorcism and narrative storytelling from Everclear’s singer, guitarist, cofounder and songwriter, Art Alexakis.

On May 7, Everclear will embark on the 20th Anniversary Tour of their pivotal 1995 album “Sparkle And Fade” in Australia, where they will be performing the album in full along with select tracks from “Black Is The New Black”. Following Australia, Everclear will tour the US for the fourth annual Summerland Tour, founded by Alexakis and heralded by Rolling Stone as one of the “10 Hottest Summer Package Tours.” This year’s Summerland features Everclear alongside Toadies, Fuel & American Hi-Fi.
