The Mavericks

Valory Music Co. group The Mavericks have revealed the track listing for "MONO," their forthcoming studio album due to street on Tuesday, February 17th. Just two days later, the GRAMMY Award winning group will hit the road on a headlining tour.

Front man Raul Malo penned all of the eleven tracks on the album, and the group teamed with Niko Bolas for production. With founding members Paul Deakin, Eddie Perez, and Jerry Dale McFadden backed by studio musicians with diverse instrumentation including accordion, upright bass, and tuba, the album is sure to be an eclectic mix of sound and inspiration.

"With 'MONO,' we started with less purpose and more passion, hoping to do what music is supposed to do, evoke a vibe that naturally takes each listener somewhere different," explained Malo. "That's what happened to each of us as we went in the studio and listened to old vinyls before recording. There was just a beauty to the sound that inspired how we developed these songs and even why we chose to record in mono. One of the things we found interesting as we listened to playback in 'mono' - usually at the end of each day - was how 'finished' the songs sounded. In turn, the album has but a few overdubs, and that works in our favor, because each part played counts for a lot. Our hope is to present this album almost exactly as it was recorded."
