Folk rock outfit Other Lives will close out 2020 with the release of Sicily Sessions.

Announced today, Sicily Sessions features their latest studio album For Their Love in demo form. Vocalist Jesse Tabish worked on the demos with their wife Kim. To celebrate the announcement, Other Lives released the demo version of “Sound of Violence” and unveiled the music video for its album version. When it comes to the release, vocalist Tabish said:

"After the 2016 election, Kim and I decided it was time to take a break from the USA. After a long road trip through Europe we ended up in a small town on the island of Sicily called Castellammare del Golfo. There we found such peace and a way of life that inspired putting down the computer and getting back to a more basic form of songwriting. The result was the sketches of what would become For Their Love. We hope you enjoy these early musings."

Pre-orders and pre-saves for Sicily Sessions are live here. Aside from a digital release, the album will be released on a limited-edition cassette. Sicily Sessions will arrive on December 11 via Play It Again Sam.
