New York – Indie rock band, On An On, are excited to announce the upcoming release of And The Wave Has Two Sides, which comes out July 24, 2015 via Roll Call Records. The Minneapolis based trio recorded the follow up to their debut album, Give In, at the famous Sunset Sound studios in Los Angeles with legendary producer Joe Chiccarelli (Spoon, White Stripes, The Shins, My Morning Jacket).
As a preview of the upcoming album, On An On have released the single, “It’s Not Over,” today. This new track is available now, along with the previously released “Drifting.” Fans who pre-order via the band’s website can also purchase the album with a limited edition print and 180 gram clear-green vinyl record.

When On An On entered the studio to begin work on their new album, they brought a new approach to their songwriting with them. “This is another first record for us in a way,” says keyboardist Alissa Ricci, in regards to And The Wave Has Two Sides. “This time we came into the studio as a band,” she says, referring to their experience with their debut, Give In, which was recorded only weeks after the three members had formed On An On. “Give In, was us learning to think less and trust our instincts. [W]hat you hear on that record is a band beginning.”
If Give In was the result of a band exploring their sonic horizons, and letting go of control while they figured out who they wanted to be, And The Wave Has Two Sides is the moment of clarity they came to as a result of that initial soul searching journey. A year and a half of performing in support of Give In gave On An On time to evaluate how they wanted to expand and grow sonically, resulting in additional collaborative writing and experimental live tracking.
Bassist Ryne Estwing explains,
“Making another Give In would have been the easy thing to do. This time we wanted to make something more direct and visceral.”
Vocalist/guitarist Nate Eiesland elaborates on this point as well,
“[B]y tracking everyone in the same room at one time, we tried to capture the interaction between the parts we were playing. There’s a subtle energy to things that get recorded that way; a tension in the sound.”
And The Wave Has Two Sides has already been met with early attention for the hauntingly suspenseful “Drifting”, the first track released from the album. And The Waves Has Two Sides is loaded with those deeply cutting emotional moments, and just as often buoyed afloat by the incredible pop instincts that were already maturing on their debut; now delivered fully formed through songs like the summer dance-floor anthem “It’s Not Over.”
