Mike Scheidt To Release "Stay Awake"

Guitarist/vocalist Mike Scheidt of YOB will be releasing a solo album on June 12th via Thrill Jockey records. He's been busy with two YOB tours this year, but still found the energy to create a personal release. Titled "Stay Awake," the album was produced by Sub Pop grunge legend (and Mike's personal friend) Tad Doyle over at his Witch Ape Studios in Seattle. The cover art, featured below, was done by Stevie Floyd - who also did the most recent YOB album "Atma." Mike says that this acoustic album will be dramatically different from YOB in a spacious and intense way.
