Our Lady Peace New Album and Tour Coming

02/07/2012
. Our Lady Peace will release their eighth studio album, Curve, on April 3, 2012 and will be hitting the road in late March.

"This is the record we've been trying to make for the past 10 years. There's something to be said about being beaten up and being able to dust yourself off and get back in the ring," says vocalist/lyricist and founding member Raine Maida about the new album, which was recorded in Toronto and his own L.A. home recording studio with co-producer Jason Lader (Mars Volta, Julian Casablancas, Rilo Kiley, Elvis Costello and Noah & the Whale.).

"Jason and I had a very frank discussion about the early recordings for Curve before he came in," says Maida. "He asked why we weren't making a record that we'd like to listen to ourselves. That was our impetus for abandoning what we started, bringing in Jason and truly challenging ourselves to come up with something more authentic and inspired. He helped us operate without the filter predicated by walking the major label tightrope."

Our Lady Peace will hit the road for a North American headline tour. The tour kicks off March 29 in London, ON with stops in New York CIty, Detroit, Chicago, and Seattle, among other cities.
