The album is produced by Hugh Padgham (David Bowie, Genesis, the Police) and was recorded at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas. Jake Gold, the band’s manager, tells Billboard that the 11-track set is a “real rock record.”

More tour information from the Hip should be announced in the coming weeks. Gold tells Billboard that they will tour North American in late June through early September, and Europe in November.
