Stone Temple Pilots confirm acoustic album, tour

Stone Temple Pilots' upcoming album PERDIDA is its first-ever acoustic one and will be available February 7 on CD and vinyl as well as from digital outlets and streaming services. The first single, “Fare Thee Well,” is available now.

STP will also launch a 15-date acoustic tour. At each performance, the band will not only recreate the sound of PERDIDA, but also re-imagine other songs from the group’s multi-platinum catalog. The tour begins in February. See tour dates below.

Tickets are on sale now. Go to www.stonetemplepilots.com to purchase VIP packages that include Meet & Greet with the band.

PERDIDA, the band’s eighth studio album, features guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo, drummer Eric Kretz and vocalist Jeff Gutt, who joined Stone Temple Pilots in 2017. The band produced the album and recorded the majority of it earlier this year at Kretz’s Bomb Shelter Studio.

Dean says the album’s title (Spanish for “loss”) foreshadows its somber mood. “You have to live it to write it, and this record is a reflection of where we’ve been recently."“Fare Thee Well” is the first single. Gutt says the album’s emotional honesty focused him lyrically. “I had to let myself be as vulnerable writing the lyrics as Dean and Robert were writing the music.”

Robert thinks PERDIDA is as much a musical journey as it is an emotional one thanks the touches of flute, alto saxophone, vintage keyboards, guitarrón and Marxophone featured throughout the album. “I’ve always loved how different instruments can accentuate a song in unexpected ways. Working with other musicians on this album was such a joy because it gave us a rare opportunity to hear our songs through someone else’s ears.”

Kretz adds that the band is looking forward to not only performing the new songs acoustically, but also pulling songs from previous albums into the set list. “We’ll finally get a chance to play songs from our catalog that we’ve never played live, or in some cases, haven’t played live in more than 20 years.”Robert says the band is looking forward to finally realizing that dream in February 2020. “We’re excited because it’s not only a chance for us to celebrate our new album in a special way, but also everything that’s brought us to this moment.”
