These United States has debuted the first single “Dead & Gone” today from its eponymous new album, out on June 12th with United Interests. The s/t full-length was written and recorded throughout 2011 with 20 outside musical collaborators from coast to coast, serving as a culmination of bandleader Jesse Elliott‘s geographical aspirations. Inspired by the incredible mix of stories and people across the country, Elliott returned to Kentucky and New York over several sessions to longtime band partners J. Tom Hnatow, Justin Craig, and Robby Cosenza to make sense — and sound — of it all. The band will be in attendance at this year’s SXSW, with Elliott participating as a guest speaker on a Panel discussing the authenticity of modern day Americana music. These United States have also announced Midwest and East Coast dates withTrampled By Turtles, kicking off the tour with a sold-out Minneapolis performance on April 11th.
