FIRST LISTEN: TAUK Announces New EP & Shares New Track “Premises”

Scott Bernstein for JAMBASE – Instrumental quartet TAUK has been hard at work in the studio with longtime producer Robert Carranza and have unveiled the first taste of their new music. TAUK debuted the track “Premises” yesterday on SiriusXM’s Jam On, a song which is part of a new EP due on April 6.

Shapeshifter I: Construct is the first installment of new music from the Long Island-bred band and will be followed by an upcoming full-length album this fall. TAUK recorded both the EP and LP in one concentrated period inside an old house. “Everything just happened so naturally this time around,” said guitarist Matt Jalbert in a press release announcing the EP. “I can’t think of one moment where it felt like anything was forced. We were all just completely focused and in the same mindset, which made this an incredibly fun and smooth experience.”

 TAUK kicks off the Shapeshifter Tour on Saturday in support of ALO at The Fillmore in San Francisco and then heads to Arizona for a Sunday appearance at the Pot Of Gold Music Festival. The foursome then begins a run of headlining dates that will carry them through mid-May.
