Third Eye Blind news

Third Eye Blind's new album Our Bande Apart is out now via Megacollider Records. It was written during the lockdown and produced by Stephan Jenkins and Colin Holbrook. Our Bande Aparte features contributions from Ryan Olson of Poliça and Marijuana Death Squad, Jeff Schroeder from Smashing Pumpkins and Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast.

Watch the video for “Again,” a duet with Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast. “While everyone is desperately trying to hold onto the late days of summer, here is a California surf rock, horny duet,” adds Jenkins. “Again” is available on all streaming services.

Directed by Kryz Reid and Stephan Jenkins, the companion documentary How We Hold Each Other Right Now: The Making of Our Bande Apart premiered in New York City today at the Gramercy Theater, and follows in Los Angeles on Monday, September 28 at the Masonic Lodge. The screenings will be followed by a Q&A and a storytelling, acoustic performance by Stephan Jenkins and Kryz Reid.

The documentary is an in-depth look at a unique recording process. “I think it shows a group of people playing together, feeling the joy of being creative together again, after so much darkness,” says Stephan.

“There was a different mindset at work,” adds Jenkins, on the new record. “I hope I always stay present as a writer and we always move forward as a band.”

Recorded after lockdown ended, Our Bande Apart “is the most fun we’ve ever had in the studio,” says Stephan. “You can hear the exuberance we have playing together in the same room again.”

“Again” follows the video for “Box of Bones,” a video celebrating creativity and connection directed by David Wexler (Motorcycle Drive By, TriBeCa Film Festival 2020) and inspired by Marina Abramović’s legendary art installation, The Artist Is Present.
