FiKus Debut Album Due On July 1

New Jersey electro-funk act FiKus has just announced the upcoming release of their debut full-length album. The band will issue Living Life Through Multicolored Scenery on July 1. Various preorder packages are available through the group’s website.

“It’s exciting to finally put out a full length record. It was a much different process, definitely our most pleasant in the studio, and it’s become something we’re all really proud of,” said percussionist Pete Kozak in a statement. The members of FiKus recorded the album with the help of Grammy Award winning engineer TJ Doherty (Wilco, Sonic Youth, Steely Dan, White Denim), at Black Jack Studios in New Milford, NJ. “It was great working with TJ. He made it very comfortable for us and was really able to capture our live energy in the studio…and being so close to home made for a very relaxed environment,” said guitarist Steve Malone.

Pre-order options include a limited-edition vinyl release featuring hand-written thank you’s from the band. Check out a teaser for the new album:
