Andrew W.K.’s YOU’RE NOT ALONE Streaming at NPR Ahead of March 2 Release

Andrew W.K. will release You’re Not Alone, his first new album in more than a decade, this Friday, March 2, but you can hear it now – in its entirety – exclusively at NPR Music‘s First Listen. Jason Heller of NPR says, “The sprawling, 16-song album is a cornucopia of spirit-lifting, even occasionally reflective party jams every inch as valiant as its cover.”

Andrew will be promoting the You’re Not Alone album all week around its release, appearing on BUILD tomorrow (2/27) at 5pm EST, doing a Reddit AMA on Wed, Feb 28 at 2pm EST and in-stores at Rough Trade NYC (3/1 @ 7pm EST), Looney Tunes on Long Island (3/2 @ 6pm EST), Newbury Comics in Cambridge (3/3 @ 1pm EST), Shuga Records in Chicago (3/4 @ 1pm CST), Amoeba in San Francisco (3/5 @ 5pm PST), and Amoeba in Los Angeles (3/6 @ 5pm PST). Andrew will then take his party on the road beginning at the South by Southwest and Treefort festivals in March, and continuing with a UK tour in April, before the first leg of his U.S. tour kicks off on April 28, at the Welcome To Rockville Festival, in Jacksonville, Florida. A full list of tour dates can be found below.

In addition to his new music, in recent years Andrew has kept busy with the formation of his own political party (The Party Party), a 50 State Power of Partying Motivational Speaking Tourand was just now named ‘Person of the Year‘, by the American Association of Suicidology, in recognition of his nearly two decades of positive and celebratory entertainment.

On You’re Not Alone, the party is reborn, delivering everything one would want from an Andrew W.K. album – high octane, full throttle rock ’n’ roll powered by buoyant, infectious, and triumphant melodies – plus new levels of intimacy and intensity never before reached by Andrew’s previous party rock recordings. His music, always a music of extremes, is more relentlessly upbeat and celebratory than ever, while also exploring contradiction and confusion in a joyous and liberating sonic atmosphere.

The cover art for the new album was painted by legendary artists, Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell. These two masters of fantasy worked closely with Andrew over a six month period, crafting the painting based on their unique three-way vision.

You’re Not Alone is available for pre-order HERE.
