The Districts announces A flourish and a Spoil

The Districts deliver raw, rollicking power on ‘A Flourish And A Spoil’ out February 6 on Fat Possum Records. John Congleton (St. Vincent, Angel Olsen, Swans) produced/engineered/mixed the album at Seedy Underbelly Studio (formerly Pachyderm Studio) in Cannon Falls, MN. The resulting 10 tracks capture the boisterous live performances from the quartet, who are all between 19 and 20 years old.

The Guardian UK says, “The Districts will be your new favourite band.” Hear FIRST single “4th And Roebling”- - La Blogothèque’s session http://www.blogotheque.net/2015/01/28/districts/

The four-piece band formed in 2009 while the members were still in high school in Lancaster County, PA. ‘A Flourish And A Spoil’ features singer/guitarist Rob Grote’s vocals front and center, combining equal parts ferocity and yearning as when he reflects on leaving behind suburban childhood on “Suburban Smell.” The album credits original members Grote, Connor Jacobus on bass and Braden Lawrence on percussion with Pat Cassidy joining on guitar following the departure of Mark Larson.

Tipped by NME as ones to watch for 2015 and with their recent single ‘4th And Roebling’ making its way onto the A-List at BBC 6 Music, the young band from Philadelphia are on track to have a busy year.
