Our new record, “An Ocean Without Water,” is finished and at the pressing plants! It’s coming out on Crucial Blast Records and we think you’ll really enjoy the haunting, low end dynamics held within. We recorded it with John Morand (Labradford, Sparklehorse, etc) at Sound of Music after our last East Coast tour. There are 6 songs on the record, 2 of which are collaborations, one with Aughra (Brent Eyestone solo project on Magic Bullet) and one with Nick Forte (current Sublight artist, ex Rorschach and Beautiful Skin). Two songs clips can be heard on our myspace page: CLICK HERE (http://www.myspace.com/souvenirsyoungamerica)

The record was mastered at Visceral Sound by metal god Scott Hull and has incredible artwork by renowned poster / print designer Sasha Barr. The album will be available on both CD and LP. The CD is in a six panel digipack and has art not found on the LP. The LP will be on 3 different colors of vinyl: smoke, yellow haze, and black. All prices include priority shipping!

There are multiple preorder options, some of which contain a preorder only shirt and button set. These will not be made again. The shirts should be available in any size from YL to XXXL, but if you don’t see a size you can request it. Preorders may be the only way to get colored vinyl, especially the yellow haze. Black vinyl will be the only thing going to stores. Plus everyone who preorders will be recieving music earlier than anyone else. So help us get settled into our new label and support this release early! Preorder here: CLICK HERE (http://www.crucialblast.net/souvenirspreorder.html)

Thanks so much. We hope you’re as excited as we are. Here’s what Crucial Blast is telling people:

Lush, shimmering guitar ambience and hypnotic, propulsive instrumental heaviness, wind through the dusty highways and burnt twilight skies of “An Ocean Without Water”, the sophomore album from Richmond's Souvenir's Young America. Divided into six flowing movements, “An Ocean Without Water” is filled with intensely beautiful melodies that drift on lonesome harmonica strains and sparkling, celestial electronics, shot through with mystic, western slide guitar, passages of crushing angular riffage, rolling tribal drumming, and transcendent blues. Through their intricate song arrangements and moody textures, Souvenir's Young America has created an epic, emotional narrative. The sound draws from the collected DNA of forebears like Popul Vuh, Earth, Labradford, and Neurosis, yet they form a powerfully evocative instrumental language all of their own.
