Through an exclusive premiere at Prog Magazine, Chicago’s dynamic progressive/alternative rock outfit, DISTRICT 97, has released an official video for “Snow Country,” a standout track from the band’s third full-length album, In Vaults, out now via Laser’s Edge.
Following its initial CD and digital release in late June, a new “hi-res” version of In Vaults is also now available, the audio delivered in 24-bit/96khz super high quality audio. With nine brand new tracks delivering over an hour of DISTRICT 97‘s energetic progressive, alternative, metal, pop crossover, the immaculately produced In Vaults shows this young, diversified rock outfit in their most impressive form yet. In Vaults boasts the band’s evocative and powerful songwriting and musical deliverance, as well as a searing performance from American Idol Top 10 Female Finalist, Leslie Hunt. The album was recorded at IV Lab Studios in Chicago, engineered by Chris Harden with additional engineering by Shane Hendrickson, mixed by Jeff Fox and Rich Mouser (Spock’s Beard, Transatlantic) at The Mouse House Studio, mastered by Grammy winning engineer Bob Katz, and dons stunning imagery by Björn Gooßes of Killustraitions.
Among glowing media reactions, prog/rock drum luminary Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, etc.) recently issued to DISTRICT 97 in response to their latest material, “The playing sounds uniformly dynamite and quality oozes from every pore. You’ve worked so hard on this; I wish you and the music all the success you deserve.”
