New York – Sallie Ford will begin her North American tour this Friday. Her new album, Slap Back, will be released next week (October 14), but fans can pre-order the album now on iTunes and the Vanguard Records Store. Slap Back, produced by Chris Funk (Decemberists, Black Prairie, Red Fang), introduces the indie rocker’s all-new line-up – Anita Lee Elliot (Viva Voce & Blue Giant) on bass, Amanda Spring (Point Juncture, WA) on drums & Cristina Cano (Albatross & Siren & the Sea) on keyboards.
The first single, “Coulda Been,” has been garnering airplay at radio across the country. About the track, Ford notes: “The song is about games that people play in romantic relationships and how you always want what you can’t have. I wrote the lyrics first and was inspired to write music when I was playing along with computerized drum beats in order to find inspiration.”
