With their last full-length album coming out in 2003, it goes without saying that we’ve been waiting literal decades for new Names Without Numbers music. Fret no more, the time has come, however, with the band releasing a brand new single and announcing their upcoming album Silos & Smokestacks.

Names Without Numbers is finally back with a long-overdue second full-length album, Silos & Smokestacks. With the help of longtime friend and producer, Michael King, they’ve taken their guitar-driven indie rock style and blended in plenty of pop sensibility, with melodies you’ll have stuck in your head for days.

The brand new full-length effort from Names Without Numbers is on its way, and what a time it is to be alive. This band took a long break between their debut in the early part of the last decade, but are back with a powerful and incredibly catchy follow up. And by long break we mean their last full-length project was 16 years ago.

The new single is high quality in every sense of the word, from the delicate and carefully constructed production to the effortless songwriting and musicality. It’s everything you want a good rock band to sound like and then some. If you’re into bands like Anberlin, Jimmy Eat World, Further Seems Forever, The All American Rejects, The Juliana Theory, Brandtson, Acceptance, Mae, and Eager Seas, then you’re going to fall in love with this new album, which is slated for a swift December 13th release.

“The song The Dragonfly and the Owl is a rock and roll lullaby, written in an attempt to communicate a parent’s love to their child, even though the child may not fully comprehend the depth of that love,” say Names Without Numbers about the brand new track.
