Attack In Black, the whipsmart foursome from Welland, Ontario, are poised to unleash their stellar third album, Years (By One Thousand Fingertips), next week on March 10, but we want you to sample its lusciousness right away.

If you’re an AIB fan, you’ll recall that the band has had QUITE a run in the last few years – in 2007 they released TWO albums (their debut, Marriage, as well as The Curve Of The Earth) and followed the releases up with a non-stop tour alongside megawatt Canadian bands like The Tragically Hip, Constantines, The Weakerthans and Tokyo Police Club

During their “off” time, frontman Daniel Romano and guitarist Spencer Burton loaned out their multi-instrumentalist talents to buddy Dallas Green’s City & Colour album Bring Me Your Love. They provided help with everything from drums, bass, organ and mandolin to the vocals themselves.

The first track from Years (by One Thousand Fingertips), Beasts, saw its debut last week on February 24. Be sure to check out the rest of the album a week in advance, right here! I mean, you know you want to – there’s a song on the album called Slender Loris that I find absolutely intriguing – if you didn’t already know, slender lorises are essentially one of the most badass creatures in the animal kingdom.
