Philadelphia’s The Districts have released their first song since their 2015 album A Flourish and a Spoil. NPR Music, who premiered the single, “Ordinary Day,” described the track as “the first chapter of a new book in the band’s creative growth.”
“Ordinary Day” deals with a sort of personal alienation and the realization that you and the world you’ve existed in have changed. Sort of the feeling of coming through a tunnel and having no way of relating to things in the same way as before. It was written in late summer/early fall and came together quite naturally… Personal lives were in flux and we were sitting around Philly losing our minds. – Vocalist Robby Grote
The Districts will unveil their third album later this year, and plan to debut their new material at select shows around SXSW before embarking on a North American headlining tour in April, European dates in May, and a stop at Montreal’s Osheaga Festival in August. A complete list of tour dates is below, and more will be announced soon. Find tickets here.
