DIGITAL ONLY

The Black and White Years were discovered at SXSW in 2007 by Talking Head and Modern Lover, Jerry Harrison. Harrison offered to produce the band's debut LP at his studio in Sausalito, CA and it was released in 2008 on Brando/Rocket Science. The LP spawned the single “Power to Change" and it received national attention via modern rock and college stations reaching #1 on Albany's WEQX and #5 on Austin's 101X with full time adds on CD101, Indie103 and Portland's KNRK.

The 2012 NPR Band to Watch returned in 2013 prepared to release their first new album since 2010 on Modern Outsider Records. The album was produced by Danny Reisch (Dana Falconberry, White Denim, What Made Milwaukee Famous, Okkervil River) at Good Danny's in Austin, Tx.

"Just Like Old Times" features the vocals of Adrienne Butler, wife of singer-songwriter Scott Butler. In 2011, Scott asked if Adrienne would sing on a rough demo, without knowing whether she would or even could sing. She agreed to give it a try; and the band was floored when they heard the recording. In 2014, The Black and White Years return with a new album, a new perspective and a new voice.
