Ashland announce new album ‘Over The Moon’

ASHLAND have announced a new album!

Titled Over The Moon, the upcoming album from the American alternative rock darlings is scheduled to be released in December this year.

Hailing from a small-town in Illinois, the band took their name from a long-ago phenomenon that speaks to both destruction and transcendence. “My grandma told me a story about an old town that had been burned down by a fire and was renamed ASHLAND once it was rebuilt. We love the idea of beauty and growth coming from pain and struggle, and I think it really connects with the whole spirit of our band,” explains vocalist Asia Marie, who co-founded the band with Aaron Wood.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first single to be lifted from the upcoming album; the title track Over The Moon.

On their sophomore album Over the Moon, the duo channel that spirit into a batch of songs spotlighting boldly inventive guitar work and radiant vocal presence. Mainly produced by Kris Crummett [DANCE GAVIN DANCE, ISSUES] and partly recorded with their longtime collaborator and close friend Matthew Amelung (a producer/engineer who passed away from cancer in June 2019), the band’s Rise Records debut unfolds with an entirely original sound that merges perfect pop melodies, genre-bending experimentation, and a consistent element of rock-and-roll.

Over The Moon is set for release on December 13th via Rise Records.
