311 are back with their 13th studio album VOYAGER, which features (appropriately enough) 13 new songs, four of which were recorded with Grammy-nominated producer John Feldmann (Blink-182, Panic! At the Disco) and nine of which were recorded with longtime collaborator/live engineer Scotch Ralston, who produced 311 albums Transistor, Soundsystem and Stereolithic. VOYAGER is the second consecutive 311 album to feature production work by both Feldmann and Ralston following 2017’s Mosaic, which entered The Billboard 200 at No. 6, making it the band’s 10th consecutive Top 10 album. The new album was mixed by Grammy winner Neal Avron (Weezer, Twenty One Pilots, Linkin Park).
About naming the album VOYAGER, 311 vocalist/guitarist Nick Hexum says, “Our albums have become almost like a captain’s log documenting our band’s ongoing voyage through musical styles, while also capturing our feelings and life experiences. With each album, 311 continues to voyage, explore and push our musicality into new dimensions.”
As with every 311 album, VOYAGER features 311’s unique hybrid sound of rock, reggae, hip hop and funk that the band have come to blend so seamlessly.
“I think this album is very eclectic, from simple songs to wild studio adventures that get into weird, stoney outer-space material,” says Hexum. “It’s another step forward for us and we love the adventure, love the journey, love the process and we can’t wait for people to hear it.”
