I the mighty

San Francisco’s I the Mighty will release their new album ‘Connector’ via LAB Records / Equal Vision next week. You can hear the record in its entirety ahead of release below.

‘Connector’ comprises 12 new songs of I the Mighty’s best work to date. Without a particular goal in mind, and effortlessly achieving a sound that combines pop, rock and heavy music into a flawless musical amalgamation, the four piece have brought an incredible new album that highlights their formidable skills as musicians and songwriters. ‘Connector’ features soaring vocals with meaningful lyrics, and intricate guitar parts that are eloquently written and recorded with precision.

Vocalist Brent Walsh elaborates on the band’s process, “We never sat down and had the talk about, ‘What type of record do we want to make? What direction do we want to take this band?’ To be honest, we never have. We simply wrote a bunch of songs, picked our favorites and made the record we wanted to make.”

From the atmospheric scene-setting opener ‘An Epilogue as a Prologue’ which links up cyclically with the album’s ethereal but emphatic final track ‘The Frame I: Betrayal in the Watchtower’, to the pure pop melodies of ‘Friends’ (which features a guest vocal turn from Max Bemis of Say Anything) and ‘Playing Catch With .22’, ‘Connector’ is a musical journey of epic proportions.

I the Mighty released their debut album ‘Satori’ in 2013, and has grown immensely as a musical unit since then, creating new material that will undoubtedly propel them to the next level. ‘Connector’ was produced by Mike Green (Paramore, Pierce The Veil, All Time Low) in Los Angeles, where the band split studio time between Green’s studio and the Madden Brothers Studio.

I the Mighty, who have toured with Say Anything, Eisley, Coheed & Cambria, letlive., Balance & Composure and Architects UK, also recently supported Enter Shikari on a two month US tour.
