Other Lives to release DEBUT EP + “Black Tables” on Grey’s Anatomy, tour dates

Other Lives

Other Lives‘ self-titled debut EP will be released by tbd Records on October 21st, 2008 with a full-length album to follow early next year.

“Black Tables,” the album’s first single, can be heard on the season premiere of the hit ABC series “Grey’s Anatomy” and is available at iTunes.

The band, which was recently the featured artist on MySpace Music, will hit the road for a series of dates that will culminate with two showcases at the 2008 CMJ Music Marathon & Film Festival. (See below for itinerary.)

Based in Stillwater, Oklahoma, the band – comprised of Jesse Tabish (piano, guitar, lead vocals), Josh Onstott (bass, organ, backing vocals), Jenny Hsu (cello, piano, backing vocals), Colby Owens (drums) and Jonathon Mooney (piano, violin, guitar) – has been playing music together for over five years, but only recently adopted the name Other Lives.

With an organic, orchestrated sound that incorporates elements of progressive rock, folk and classical music, Other Lives draws its inspiration from a similarly wide array of sources – from historical events to the landscape in which the members grew up. The band recorded the EP and upcoming full-length album in Los Angeles with producer Joey Waronker (the Eels, Lisa Germano) and engineer Darrell Thorp (Radiohead, Outkast, Beck).

Other Lives, which will be distributed physically via independent retailers and digitally at iTunes, IODA and EMusic, marks the second release from ATO Records’ tbd records imprint. tbd launched earlier this year with the physical release of Radiohead’s In Rainbows, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

The track listing for Other Lives is as follows:

1. End Of The Year
2. Paper Cities
3. Precious Air (Demo)
4. It Was The Night (Demo)
5. Flight of the Flynns (Demo)
