These days its a blessing/surprising for a celebrity to end up in the headlines for good reasons. Its actually rather refreshing to see an artist naturally shine because of their ability. When they are able to maintain this throughout their career, that is something to point to when their character is discussed. Today we have great news for fans of the group Dispatch as they have announced that they will be releasing a new album titled, America, Location 12. 

Slated to release this summer, America, Location 12 will be the beloved group first album to be released in 5 years, that album being Circles Around the Sun. The new album was recorded at a studio in Stinson Beach, California. In an official press release, band member/guitarist Chadwick Stokes elaborated on what it felt like to record around that type of scenery, “When the fog permitted, we could watch the sun set into the sea—for two East Coast kids and a mountain boy, this is a spiritual thing … We were able to sonically stretch out in a way we never had before.”

When it comes to the new music on the album he had this to say, ““Everything feels like it’s coming to a head. If we can be a band in today’s climate that brings these issues up in a non-traditional way, then that’s really fulfilling for us.” He is referring to the group being known for not shying away from allowing the political climate to have any sort of influence on them.

Fans can look forward to hearing and seeing some of this new music performed live as Dispatch announced earlier this year that they will be going on tour in the summer

Not wanting to leave fans shorthanded, along with the announcement, Dispatch released a new song titled “Skin the Rabbit” which you can listen to below. Dispatch’s new album, America, Location 12, will be available June 2nd via their own platform Bomber Records.
