Away From The World: The Review

Posted by Matt Yette in Album News on 9/17/12 1:35pm

Away from the World, the new album from Dave Matthews and The Band, has just hit the streets. No, I haven't lost my mind and forgotten the name of the band for which this site exists. Quite the contrary; this album is simultaneously one of the great musical accomplishments for the band, as well as a near solo showcase for Dave himself. Read on past the break for a more in depth look.

Thanks so much to Boyd for taking the time to talk with us!

Away From the World Cover Art

Posted by Matt Yette in Album News on 7/17/12 7:49am

With davematthewsband.com teasing possible album art hints via its front page boxes lately, it appears that Amazon.com is the first outlet to snag the much sought-after album art for the band's latest effort, Away From the World. If the artwork reminds you of the the last go round, Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, you wouldn't be the only one. This cover has also been hand drawn by Dave Matthews and has his signature style all over it. With nine boxes all containing a uniquely stressed individual, it strikes up a lot of speculation as to what exactly each one is going through, and how that might relate to the songwriting for this release.

Away From the World drops on September 11, 2012, and is available for pre-order now.

Thanks to studious Ant coldengrey for digging this up!
