The Autumn Defense, formed by Patrick Sansone and John Stirratt who were both band members of Wilco,Ā have a new albumĀ Fifth available in stores today. In addition toĀ Stirratt and Sansone, the album features James āHagsā Haggerty on bass, Greg Wieczoreck onĀ drums, and John Pirrucello on electric guitar and pedal steel.
Says Sansone, of the band’s latest effort,āIt was great to finally spend some time in the studio tracking with the complete live band weāveĀ had for the last seven or so years. Weāve been working with our drummer, Greg, for over aĀ decade and having the rest of the guys with us really helped create the vibe of this album. Of all of our records, this one feels the most like the work of a band.ā
Check out live performance footage and exclusive interviews with both Sansone and Stirratt in the EPK video. Ā You can also purchaseĀ FifthĀ at iTunes, Amazon, or in by clicking the image below.
