Sebadoh Release Video For New Song "sunshine"   First Album in Six Years Act Surprised out May 24 via Dangerbird Records   Tour Kicks off May 22

May 3, 2019: Indie-rock pioneers Sebadoh will release their first new studio album in more than six years Act Surprised on May 24th via Dangerbird Records. Today, the band shared the video for their new song "sunshine," the fourth song to be released from their forthcoming album.   Watch the video for "sunshine" via YouTube: https://youtu.be/I_KDYTprXCg   Lou Barlow explains, "'sunshine' is about going inside. Giving up, for the moment, on finding answers in nature or social rituals. Going inside, where I feel safe, and finding strength in intimacy."   Act Surprised continues the soulful collaboration that's defined the band since 1991's Sebadoh III and 1994's Bakesale. The new batch of songs reaffirms how vital the creative partnership is between members Lou Barlow, Jason Loewenstein, and Bob D'Amico.   When Barlow recently moved back to his home state of Massachusetts following a series of personal changes, he pressed the restart button and, in time, felt the incentive to reach out to Jason and Bob again to reunite and start work on a new album. The trio convened and began recording in their original stomping grounds in western Massachusetts where they first formed back in 1988. Along with producer/sound engineer Justin Pizzoferrato, Sebadoh have delivered one of the best records of their career. Act Surprised is a 15-song collection that's as dynamic and visceral as anything the band has ever committed to tape.   Sebadoh shared the news of their new album with the release of lead single "celebrate the void" which received acclaim from Pitchfork, The New York Times, and Rolling Stone, who called it called it "a brooding head-nodder." The FADER called "stunned" a "...scuzzy, paranoid-sounding song, underpinned by Jason Loewenstein's weary snarl."   Act Surprised is available for pre-save/pre-order and includes an instant download of "raging river," "stunned," and "celebrate the void."   Tracklist: 01) phantom 02) celebrate the void 03) follow the breath 04) medicate 05) see-saw 06) vacation 07) stunned 08) fool 09) raging river 10) sunshine 11) act surprised 12) battery 13) belief 14) leap year 15) Reykjavik   Tour Dates: 05/22: Pittsburgh, PA - Mr. Smalls 05/23: Columbus, OH - Rumba Café 05/24: Evanston, IL - Space 05/25: Minneapolis, MN - Turf Club 05/26: Omaha, NE - Reverb 05/28: Denver, CO - Globe Hall 05/29: Salt Lake City, UT - Urban Lounge 05/31: Portland, OR - Doug Fir Lounge 06/01: Vancouver, BC - Fox Caberet 06/02: Seattle, WA - Tractor Tavern 06/05: San Francisco, CA - Slims 06/06: Los Angeles, CA - Roxy 06/07: San Diego, CA - Casbah 06/08: Santa Ana, CA - La Santa 06/09: Phoenix, AZ - Valley Bar 06/10: Albuquerque, NM - Launch Pad 06/12: Austin, TX - Parish 06/13: Houston, TX - White Oak Music Hall (upstairs) 06/14: New Orleans, LA - One Eyed Jacks 06/15: Atlanta, GA - The Earl 06/16: Asheville, NC - Mothlight 06/18: Carrboro, NC - Cat's Cradle 06/19: Baltimore, MD - Metro Gallery 06/20: Hamden, CT - Space Ballroom 06/21: Holyoke, MA - Gateway City Arts Center 06/22: Boston, MA - The Sinclair 07/11: Montreal, PQ - Ritz* 07/12: Toronto, ON - Horsehoe Tavern* 07/13: Detroit, MI - Shelter* 07/14: Cleveland, OH - Grog Shop* 07/16: Cincinnati, OH - Woodward Theatre* 07/17: St. Louis, MO - The Ready Room* 07/18: Nashville, TN - Exit/In* 07/19: Birmingham, AL - Saturn* 07/20: Charlotte, NC - The Underground* 07/22: Richmond, VA - Richmond Music Hall* 07/23: Washington, DC - Black Cat* 07/24: Philadelphia, PA - Underground Arts* 07/26: New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom* 07/27: Asbury Park, NJ - Asbury Lanes* 09/20: Koln, DE - Stadtgarten 09/21: Hamburg, DE - Reeperbahn Festival 09/22: Berlin, DE - Musik & Frieden / Blue Room 09/24: Groningen, NL - Vera 09/25: Nijmegen, NL - Doornroosje 09/26: Rotterdam, NL - Rotown 09/27: Antwerp, BE - Trix 09/28: Brighton, UK - Patterns 09/29: London, UK - Scala 10/01: Bristol, UK - Fleece 10/02: Birmingham, UK - O2 Academy 2 10/03: Leeds, UK - Brudenell 10/04: Glasgow, UK - Broadcast 10/05: Manchester, UK - O2 Academy 2 10/07: Paris, FR - Le petit Bain 10/09: Bilbao, ES - Kafe Antzoki 10/10: Barcelona, ES - Razz 2 10/11: Madrid, ES - Sala 10/12: Valencia, ES - 16 Toneladas 10/13: Majorca, ES- Fabric Ramis 10/14: Cadiz, ES - Edificia Constitucion 1812 10/16: Vigo, ES - La Iguana   * w/ Eleanor Friedberger
