The Early November - The Early November

Limited lavender colored vinyl LP pressing. 2024 release. After two decades, it would be all too easy for a band to just phone it in-capitalize on the fanbase they've built up in that time and just make a watered-down version of themselves. Not for The Early November, however. Ever since forming in New Jersey in 2001, the band, now consisting of frontman Ace Enders and founding drummer Jeff Kummer- have constantly been striving to find the best and most definitive version of themselves. With this self-titled record, the seventh studio album of their career, the duo have come as close as is possible to doing so. It's an album that ties the past, present and future all together, and as such, it marks what Enders calls a "period or exclamation point in our sentence". It's not a new beginning, per se, but nevertheless something emphatic that signifies, in Enders' words again, "a pivotal moment" for them both.
