Additionally, the band will be returning for their third appearance at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival this June in Manchester, TN alongside such acts as Beastie Boys, Ben Harper, Wilco, and David Byrne. Tickets for Bonnaroo went on sale February 7th.
In celebration of the upcoming release, fans can get a taste of 'A New Tide' via their official homepage. A free download of "Airstream Driver" is available now at gomeztheband.com.
Set for release on March 31st, the new album marks a return to the always-freewheeling British band's more experimental roots, with songs like "Win Park Slope" and "Airstream Driver" evincing a spirit born of boundless imagination and a longstanding collaborative relationship.
