The Elected Set New Album Release

02/21/2011
. Vagrant Records have set a May 17th release date for The Elected's new album, Bury Me In My Rings.

The effort was produced and recorded by frontman Blake Sennett (Rilo Kiley guitarist/co-songwriter)with help from Jason Cupp and longtime Elected contributor Mike Bloom.

"I played most of the instruments myself, so it was easier to erase stuff without hurting anyone's feelings," Blake comments. "This time I just thought, better take it as far as I can alone...then bring in my friends to fill in the blanks."

The band released its previous albums, Me First (2004) and Sun, Sun, Sun (2006) on Sub Pop Records. After another Rilo Kiley album and tour, followed by an extended break, Blake had retired from music, or so he thought. Tucked away from the limelight, and amidst a soul-search-inducing home renovation project, Blake decided it was time to make a record.

"I find that with records, I always have the strongest feelings about my most recent work," says Sennett. "Sometimes it sucks; other times I made my favorite record. This time, I can safely say it's my favorite."
