New Music For Monday: Blue October “Any Man in America”

Any Man in America is the sixth studio album and seventh full length by Blue October. The songs on the album are largely about Justin Furstenfeld's divorce and custody battle over his daughter. The album was produced by Tim Palmer, who has previously worked with artists such as David Bowie, Robert Plant, The Cure, U2 and Pearl Jam.  The artwork on the album cover is a drawing of Justin Furstenfeld drawn by Tim Palmer's daughter Bluebell, who was three years old at the time.

The album was recorded at Matchbox Studios in Austin, Texas between Summer of 2010 and March of 2011, and is scheduled to be released August 16, 2011 via RED Distribution, a Sony imprint for independent artists.  Their former label, Universal Motown had offered them a 360 deal, which the band rejected, opting instead to become independent and form their own label, Up/Down Records.
