By: Caryn Robbins May. 24, 2017
As 311 gear up for the release of their new studio album MOSAIC, out June 23 via BMG, the multi-platinum group has partnered with BILLBOARD.com to exclusively premiere the official video for the album's first single "Too Much To Think" today, Wednesday May 24. Watch the video on Billboard
(HERE) and post and share via VEVO (HERE). MOSAIC is available for pre-order now: http://smarturl.it/MosaicAR. 311 will kick off their 40-date summer tour on June 22in Cleveland, OH (dates below).
"'Too Much To Think' is a song about the highs & lows of life--and seeking an escape from every day stresses," says 311 lead-singer/songwriter NICK HEXUM. "It was great to film this video at Vasquez Rocks outside Los Angeles. It's such a magical setting and not surprising that they've shot so many iconic movies & TV shows out there."
Later this afternoon, NICK HEXUM and P-NUT will join Steve Jones of Sex Pistols for a live, in-depth interview on his "JONESY'S JUKEBOX" show, during the 1:00 PM PT hour. The show will play the group's current radio single "Too Much To Think"--which Rolling Stone hailed "an uplifting romp"--as the catchy song already went to Top 20 at Alternative Radio. The show will also mark the radio debut of album track "Too Late." Tune-in to hear 311 on "JONESY'S JUKEBOX" on KLOS 95.5FM Los Angeles and worldwide here: http://www.955klos.com/jonesys-jukebox/. After the May 24 airing, listen to the archived interview at the bottom of the page here: http://www.955klos.com/jonesys-jukebox/.
On MOSAIC, 311 worked with producer John Feldmann (Blink-182, Panic! At The Disco) as well as Scotch Ralston (who produced the group's iconic Transistor, Soundsystem and Stereolithic albums).
311 will launch their headlining tour of North America on June 22, marking the group's 18th consecutive summer headlining the U.S. The outing features special guests New Politics plus The Skints and Passafire (on select shows). 311 will also make headline appearances at several festivals and radio events. The full tour itinerary (June 22-Aug 20) is listed below and on: http://www.311.com/shows.
