US Royalty – Equestrian

Monday, January 10th, 2011

From the bluesy swagger of the album opener “Hollywood Hollows” to the soaring, Washington Irving inspired anthem “Equestrian,” it is evident that MIRRORS is an album of grand scope and range.  It is a document of exploration and discovery.  Songs kindle a spectrum of locales as the band laces a thread of longing and movement throughout the entire album to create a cinematic experience.

“With this record we wanted to present a body of work, a complete thought,” says singer John Thornley.  To achieve this, the band wrote and rewrote songs for a year, demoing and dissecting while on the road and at home.  John continues, “Because we traveled for about a year and a half before we recorded the album, there is definitely a travel vibe to the record.”

In March 2010, the band teamed up with engineer Gus Oberg (The Strokes, Albert Hammond Jr., Bloc Party) and Justin Long to begin recording the album.  The band recently released the first single off the album, “Equestrian,” and set a release date for the debut album, January 25th 2011.
