Fueled
By
Ramen/Decaydance recording group
Panic! At The
Disco
has announced early details
of their anticipated new album. “TOO WEIRD TO
LIVE, TOO
RARE
TO
DIE!” arrives in stores and online on October 8th. The album – Panic! At The Disco’s
fourth studio effort, and first new release since 2011 – is preceded by the first single and video for “Miss Jackson,” all available today. The darkly
anthemic
track is on sale now
exclusively on the iTunes Store. The “Miss Jackson”
companion video
–
directed
by
Jordan Bahat (Grouplove, Fitz and The Tantrums)– is also now streaming exclusively at
Panic! At The Disco’s newly relaunched
www.panicatthedisco.com as well as their official
YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/user/PANICatthedisco.
Panic! At The Disco will herald “TOO WEIRD TO LIVE, TOO RARE TO DIE!” with a
tour of intimate venues across North America, kicking off August 4th in Norfolk (see attached itinerary).
The brief headline
run will
then
be
followed by a major
North American trek supporting their longtime friends, Fall Out Boy. The “Fall Out Boy Save Rock And Roll Arena Tour 2013” –also featuring fellow
Fueled By Ramen recording group twenty
one pilots – gets underway September 5th at Uncasville,
Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun
Arena
and
then continues through
the month.
Produced by Butch Walker (Fall Out Boy, Weezer), “TOO WEIRD TO LIVE, TOO
RARE TO DIE!” sees the band paying homage to their Las Vegas roots via a glittery sonic approach inspired by their ever-increasing collection
of vintage and modern synthesizers. While jam-packed with high-energy songs
like “Vegas Lights” and “Nicotine,” the album
also features Urie’s most open and introspective
songwriting to date, with highlights
including the
tender
paean that closes the collection,
“The
End Of
All Things.”
Simultaneously celebratory and cathartic, “TOO WEIRD TO LIVE, TOO RARE TO DIE!” is
Panic! At
The Disco at their distinctive
best
– personal, potent, and utterly
irresistible.
“I had these sounds in my head,” says Urie, “I just had to figure out how to get
them out. So I just kept writing, writing, and writing until eventually we had all these songs and I was like, ‘This is it. This is the record I want to make.’ I knew it would happen,
and
finally it’s here.”
Released in 2005, Panic! At The Disco’s platinum-certified debut, “A FEVER YOU
CAN’T SWEAT
OUT” remains one of the biggest selling
debuts in Fueled
By
Ramen
history. Singles like
the 2x-platinum smash, “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” earned the
band
international acclamation and a fervent fan following around the globe, also receiving a
number of major honors including multiple Grammy® nominations and the prestigious MTV Video Music Awards “Video of the Year” prize for the “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” video.
Panic! At The Disco’s acclaimed second
album, “PRETTY. ODD.” arrived in 2008, debuting at #2 on SoundScan/Billboard 200 album chart upon its initial release. The album’s popular success was matched by a wave of critical applause, with
NME declaring it “a victory for artistic ambition over cynical careerism, one of the feel-good psych-pop albums of the
year.”
Panic! At The Disco returned three years later with “VICES & VIRTUES.” The album– which features, “The Ballad of Mona Lisa” and
“Ready To Go (Get Me Out Of My Mind)”– made a
spectacular chart entry upon
its March 2011 release, entering the SoundScan/Billboard 200 at #7, while also coming in at #2 on SoundScan’s “Alternative Albums”
chart.
