William Elliott Whitmore will release a new album later this year on Bloodshot Records.
The musician from Lee County, Iowa offered the following statement:
I remember going to the record store and buying Neko Case, Sadies, and Whiskeytown 7-inches back in the late 1990s. I've been a fan of Bloodshot as a label for a long time, so when the opportunity came up to be on their 20th anniversary comp a few years ago, I jumped on it. Shortly after that they put out a split 7-inch with Esme Patterson and I, thus bringing my awareness and connection with the label full circle through the power of vinyl. Now I've joined their ranks officially, and I'm excited to see where this relationship takes us.
Expect a full-length and tour later this year.
