Memphis based four-piece Ingram Hill is set to release their next album, Ingram Hill, on August 28, 2012, via Rock Ridge Music. With more than a decade of recording and touring under their collective belts, the new album marks a time of rebirth for the band: Ingram Hill drifts much deeper into the tones of traditional country than the outfit’s more rock-influenced prior works. Entirely self-recorded, produced, and mixed, and partially financed by many generous fans, the forthcoming release captures the band in their truly natural state.
“We weren’t really sure what vibe of a record we wanted to make," says singer/guitarist Justin Moore. "And I think when you put three kids from Tennessee in a room and leave us to our own devices, it just naturally ends up sounding a bit country.”
“Justin and I have been working together for more than a decade now, and this is the first time we’ve been completely left alone to our own devices to turn out our product,” says guitarist Phil Bogard. “I think we’ve grown enough in our songwriting that we’re pretty good at doing pre-production ourselves at this point, and pretty good at tightening up each other’s songs. I wouldn’t be lying to say I think this is the best record we’ve done.”
Ingram Hill was formed in Memphis, Tennessee in the summer of 2000, after lifelong friends Moore and Bogard attended the University of Memphis. The band spent much of the next year and a half touring the south, then releasing their Until Now EP in 2002. More touring ensued, leading to the group’s 2004 full-length debut. The Rick Beato produced June’s Picture Show helped spawn Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Hits 'Will I Ever Make it Home' and 'Almost Perfect.' The 2006 Why The Wait EP tided over listeners eager for another release, until the band dropped the 2007 full-length Cold In California. The group’s ongoing partnership with Rock Ridge Music birthed the first Ingram Hill release for the label—2010’s Look Your Best (again produced by Rick Beato)—and the digital-only 2011 acoustic album, Blue Room Afternoon.
