Sound & Color – the follow-up to Alabama Shakes’ Gold-certified debut album, Boys & Girls, which earned the group three GRAMMY® nominations, including a nod for Best New Artist – will be released in North America on April 21 by ATO Records. Rough Trade will release the album in the UK/Europe on April 20. 

Sound & Color demonstrates the tremendous strides made by Alabama Shakes since the release of 2012’s Boys & Girls. From the gently swaying, chiming title song to the garage-rock freak-out on “The Greatest” to the psychedelic space jam “Gemini,” Alabama Shakes build on the soulful blues-rock base and map a surprising, innovative new direction. 

“We took our time to write this record, and I’m really glad we did,” says lead singer/guitarist Brittany Howard. “We were able to sit down and think about what’s exciting to us. This record is full of genre-bending songs.”

Sound & Color was recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium studio. The band co-produced the album with Blake Mills—a young guitar wizard who has helmed sessions by Sara Watkins and Sky Ferreira, and played alongside everyone from Norah Jones and the Dixie Chicks to Lana Del Ray and Kid Rock. 

The success of Boys & Girls paved the way for Alabama Shakes – comprising lead singer/guitarist Brittany Howard, guitarist Heath Fogg, bassist Zac Cockrell, drummer Steve Johnson, and touring keyboard players Ben Tanner and Paul Horton – to become one of the most celebrated live acts in the world, as they delivered unforgettable performances everywhere from “Saturday Night Live” to the main stages of festivals like Bonnaroo and Glastonbury. Boys & Girls charted in the Top 10 in both the U.S. and the U.K. and "Hold On," the Gold-certified lead single, was voted the #1 Best Song of 2012 by Rolling Stone.

An individual firmly at the heart of The Netherlands’ current electronic landscape, Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Toman is an artist whose stock and stature continue to rise as one of the scene’s most-loved emerging acts. A surging name in recent years, with releases via a host of leading labels and appearances across the globe, his musical journey combines unrivalled work ethic with innate musical talent to showcase exactly why he’s an artist in such heavy worldwide demand.

His debut EP on Mihai Popoviciu’s Cyclic (2017) welcomed a first insight into his studio ability. Since then, he’s taken off with EP’s on Cuttin’ Headz, Moscow, Eastenderz and No Art – the label where Toman features as the A&R. In this role he is also one of the driving forces behind the vinyl-only sub-imprint No Art Red, with his reputation and influence growing as a figure pushing the modern signature ‘Amsterdam Sound’ worldwide alongside close friends and regular studio partners, Chris Stussy and ANOTR.

A talented drummer since his early years, a return to his roots via electronic drum kits within his work has further strengthened his unique sound, building on minimalistic, rolling arrangements to create house music that nods to the golden era of UK tech house. Combining deep grooves amongst hypnotising sonics, his no-nonsense outlook delivers productions perfect for any occasion; from the warm-up to peak time, clubs or festivals, all the way through to the afters and early hours.

The result? His position as Beatport’s best selling Minimal/Deep Tech artist of all time, delivering seven #1’s on the platform across four different labels while gaining support from Raresh, The Martinez Brothers, Joseph Capriati, Enzo Siragusa, Stacey Pullen, Phil Weeks, Franck Roger and Terry Francis to name just a few.

Add in global appearances from Amsterdam to Buenos Aires, Berlin to Montevideo, London to Sydney, manning the decks at Watergate, fabric, Awakenings and S.A.S.H. alongside regular outings at Amsterdam’s most-renowned establishments, and it’s clear to see just why the Dutch talent is on such a steep trajectory… And yet, he’s still only just getting started.
