Scott Metzger has announced the forthcoming release of his debut album, titled Too Close To Reason, due out on March 4 via RPF Records. Today, he has shared the first single, “Don’t Be A Stranger,” along with the accompanying video and announced a supporting tour.
The LP is comprised of 12 solo-acoustic guitar recordings, showcasing Metzger’s ambient and pastoral sound – a far cry from the beats he’s played with Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, WOLF! and The Showdown Kids.
“Metzger plays nearly every note of his primarily acoustic guitar-based album. The sole exception is ‘Only Child,’ a ballad with Katie Jacoby, violinist for The Who (and Metzger’s fiance).” His press release states.
In addition to today’s news, Scott Metzger has shared he will support the new album with a series of tour dates. Tickets for Boston, New York City, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia go on sale on Friday, Jan. 7, and can be purchased here. Additional tour dates will be announced shortly.
Pre-order for Too Close To Reason on 180-gram black vinyl and digital formats is now available.
