THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN: More Songtitles Revealed; Guest Musician Announced

December 9, 2009

Critically acclaimed rockers THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN have revealed two more songtitles — "Gold Teeth On A Bum" and "Crystal Morning" — from their highly-anticipated new album, "Option Paralysis", which will be officially available on March 23, 2010. The opus, recorded in Orange County, California with longtime collaborator/producer Steve Evetts (THE USED, GLASSJAW, EVERY TIME I DIE),will be the debut release for the band's brand new label Party Smasher Inc./Season Of Mist. Other tracks set to appear on the CD include "Farewell, Mona Lisa" and "Good Neighbor".

Fan-filmed video footage of THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN performing "Farewell, Mona Lisa" on December 5, 2009 in Syracuse, New York can be viewed below.

According to U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine, "Option Paralysis" will feature a guest appearance by 70-year-old Mike Garson, who has previously contributed to DAVID BOWIE's "Aladdin Sane" and NINE INCH NAILS' "The Fragile" albums.

THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN vocalist Greg Puciato previously stated about the band's new songs, "Wait 'til you hear what we've got for you now. The vibe when we recorded 'Ire Works' was defined by a feeling of struggle and hope and just staying alive in the face of almost falling apart, feeling triumphant in making it through the previous couple of years, and now the vibe is OK, now we're just gonna fuck everyone up.'"

THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN guitarist Ben Weinman told U.K.'s Rock Sound magazine about the band's new material, "The music we are writing is influenced by the feelings I get when I hear and see the real evils of this world. Horrible things that make me really question if there is a God or not. This shit is not comfortable, the world is not comfortable, babies are getting raped in your town for God's sake. Young girls are being sold as sex slaves, but most people sitting at their computers downloading music don't want to know. They want to sit on a message board or play fantasy football while their mommy makes them a sandwich."
