Indie rock stalwarts GROUPLOVE are set to expand their latest album, I Want It All Right Now, with a deluxe version slated for release on May 10 via Glassnote Records. The deluxe album will include six new tracks, including a live version of the title track "All," recorded at Madison Square Garden and featuring Jake Clemons from Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band on saxophone.
The live rendition of "All" takes the song to new heights, shedding any previous confines and swelling into something larger than life. With Clemons' saxophone adding an extra layer of depth and emotion, the track captures the essence of GROUPLOE's electrifying live performances.
In a statement to FLOOD Magazine, Christian Zucconi, vocalist and guitarist for GROUPLOVE, reflected on the significance of "All," stating, "This song speaks to what we were trying to understand about ourselves while making this album. It’s our way of asking, ‘Why do we always want something more than what we have?’”
GROUPLOVE's artistic vision extends beyond the music, with band member Hannah Hooper creating all the band's artwork. The visual identity, coupled with their distinct sound, has made GROUPLOVE a recognizable force in the indie rock scene.
The announcement of the deluxe version follows the release of the first deluxe track, "Chances," in February. Described as a rapturous, overstimulated, hallucinogenic singsong, "Chances" showcased GROUPLOVE's ecstatic energy and explores the complexities of the human psyche.
Following the conclusion of their North American Rock And Roll You Won't Save Me Tour, GROUPLOVE is gearing up for a series of festival performances this summer, including appearances at Wildflower! Festival, Bonnaroo, and Oceans Calling. Additionally, the band has been added to nine new dates supporting P!nk this fall.
