“…dynamics, melodies, and real vision…”––The Onion

American Princes’ new full-length album Other People is released to critical acclaim. Arkansas Times proclaims it “...their latest and greatest album,” and the Raleigh News & Observer states “...this quintet does it up right, and the music will have you bangin’ your head and humming along...”

Their 2006 critically acclaimed album Less And Less was featured in multiple year-end lists including Magnet, Blog Critics and The Onion who exclaimed, “…American Princes break modern rock into little pieces, keeping the sharp hunks that let guitarist-vocalists David Slade and Collins Kilgore slash away.” Since their formation in 2002 the band has shared the stage with The Flaming Lips, the Hold Steady and Spoon among many others.

American Princes––now a five piece with the addition of keyboardist/guitarist Will Boyd––recorded Other People in New York City at The Fireplace Studio with producer Chuck Brody (Yoko Ono, Wu-Tang Clan, Peter Bjorn and John).“We wanted to include a bunch of weird, post-modern hooks, which made working with a predominantly hip-hop producer all the more enticing,” explains singer-guitarist Slade. Other People is comprised of 11 new tracks and includes the songs Watch As They Go and Real Love. “A few friends have said it’s our 80’s record, but it’s probably more Tears For Fears or Tom Petty than New Order.” Slade elaborates, “Ultimately, our goal with this record was to create something bigger and more ambitious than anything we’d done prior.”

Other People is American Princes’ fourth release and their third on Yep Roc. Recently the album charted at #50 on the CMJ top 200. In April, the video for “Real Love” was included in MTV U’s Freshman Five. The band is currently on a national tour that will include stops in Atlanta, Memphis and Baltimore.
