"Weightless" Will Be A Heavyweight

Progressive instrumentalists Animals As Leaders are prepping to release their sophomore LP titled "Weightless", on November 8th via Prosthetic Records (November 7th for Europe). The CD was produced and mixed by members Navene Koperweis and Javier Reyes (respectfully Tosin had his input into the process).


AAL have released the track listing as well for "Weightless":

01. An Infinite Regression
02. Odessa
03. Somnarium
04. Earth Departure
05. Isolated Incidents
06. Do Not Go Gently
07. New Eden
08. Cylindrical Sea
09. Espera
10. To Lead You To An Overwhelming Question
11. Weightless
12. David

"When we did the first album, it wasn't anything anyone knew about, so there was total freedom — there was no expectation. A lot of people really liked the first album, and it created a weird sense of obligation to continue in a direction that allowed people to like it in the first place… But that isn't necessarily the best way to make music." -Tosin Abasi (interview on Ryan's Rock Show!)
