Equal Vision Records, Civilians and Sparta are excited to announce the Friday 29 May release of Cut A Silhouette, the forthcoming album from the celebrated El Paso, TX-based alt-rock band. Produced, engineered and recorded in seven days at Magpie Cage Recording Studio by the iconic J. Robbins, Cut A Silhouette is a collision of past and present. It builds off Sparta’s legacy but equally continues the evolution of a band that has never rested on its laurels. Written in hotel rooms, practice spaces, studios and soundchecks over the course of a year, Cut A Silhouette reveals frontman Jim Ward’s rediscovery of his love for music.
“This is a love record,” Ward happily declares. “I want it to leave an impression, and at this point in my career, that’s what I yearn for. I’m working so hard to make something meaningful to me, and I really want people to get a chance to feel it as well.” Watch the music video for the album’s first single, Crater, a song co-written with Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance, L.S. Dunes), below.
