Ben Folds Five will release The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind, the group's first album of new music in 13 years, on September 18 via ImaVeePee Records/Sony Music Entertainment. Fans that participated in the PledgeMusic campaign will receive an exclusive early delivery.
A portion of the funds generated by album sales will be used to support Music Education and Music Therapy. PledgeMusic builds a charitable component into each of the campaigns running under its auspices.
Ben Folds Five - Ben Folds (piano), Robert Sledge (bass) and Darren Jessee (drums) - launched in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in 1994 and released Whatever And Ever Amen in 1997. BFF recorded its last album, 1999's The Unauthorized Biography Of Reinhold Messner, before disbanding in 2000.
In 2011, the original members recorded three new studio tracks for The Best Imitation Of Myself: A Retrospective. The band did its first concert in more than a decade at New York's Mountain Jam Festival on June 2 of this year and followed with US summer festival dates including Bonnaroo, Milwaukee Summerfest and Old St. Patrick's Church Block Party in Chicago.
BFF will return to the road this fall with a North American tour and dates in the UK, Ireland and Australia. More TBA.
