Matt Pryor (of The Get Up Kids) will release Memento Mori, his fifth solo full-length album, on February 17 via Equal Vision Records/Rory Records.
The first song released from the album, “A Small Explosion,” can be heard now. All Memento Mori pre-orders through MerchNOW come with a $20 credit to Downwrite (or a full song), and an instant download of “A Small Explosion”. The first pressing of vinyl for Memento Mori will include clear vinyl (limited to 100) and light blue vinyl with white swirl (limited to 400). The album was self-produced by Pryor, mixed by Andy Jackson and mastered by Michael Fossenkemper.
“We lost a lot of people close to us in the last couple of years,” notes Pryor. “This album is both a way for us to remember them and to celebrate everyday the lives that we still have.” Pryor will tour all throughout the US with direct support from Dan Andriano from Alkaline Trio. The first leg of the tour will kick off on February 16 in St. Augustine, FL, with a second leg to be revealed at a later date. All announced dates can be found below.
