Sway (album)
''Sway'' is the seventh studio album by Blue October. It was recorded at Fire Station Studio in San Marcos, Texas with co-producer David Castell in February and March 2013. Additional recording sessions for strings and vocal overdubs took place at Test Tube Audio in Austin, Texas in April 2013, and the album was mixed at Studio 62 in Austin by Tim Palmer between May and July 2013. Production credit for the album is shared between Justin Furstenfeld, David Castell and Tim Palmer. Castell previously produced Blue October's album ''History For Sale'' and co-produced ''Foiled'', while Palmer produced the band's album ''Any Man in America'' and mixed ''History for Sale''. The first single from the album, "Bleed Out" impacted radio on June 6, 2013 and became available for sale at digital outlets on June 25. A music video for the single was filmed in Dallas, Texas on June 15 with director Norry Niven. "Bleed Out" was a top 25 single on the Billboard alternative radio chart. The song "Angels in Everything" was released as a single in Germany, and to date has reached number 25 on the radio charts. The album's title track, "Sway" was released to radio as the third single on February 11, 2014 and a video, directed by Bongani Mlambo was released April 23, 2014. The album debuted at #13 on the Billboard Top 200, #1 on the Billboard Alternative Albums, #2 on the Billboard Independent Albums, #3 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums, #10 on the Billboard Digital Albums, and #8 on iTunes. The album was rated the 2nd best album of 2013 (in a tie with David Bowie's ''The Next Day'') by German music magazine Kulturnews. Sway also won Reader’s Choice for Best Album in the Austin Music Blogger Awards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher = Austin Music People )〕
The band financed the production of the album through a PledgeMusic campaign which they began on April 2, 2013. The project reached its goal on April 5, 2013, and as of August 14 has reached 263 percent of the goal and received 4,252 pledges. To raise money for the campaign, the band offered such items as music lessons, signed instruments, exclusive artwork, spots in a music video, and concert tickets for life. Five percent of the proceeds were donated to the MusicCares Foundation.
Like Blue October's previous album, ''Any Man in America'', ''Sway'' was released on the band's independent label Up/Down Records. North American distribution is through Megaforce Records, one of Sony Red's indies, with European distribution by Membran Records. Like the band's two previous albums, ''Sway'' was released on vinyl in addition to digital download and CD format.
==Album title and artwork==
The album's cover art was created by Justin Furstenfeld and Brad Bonds and depicts four white roses symbolizing the four members of the band who were principally involved in the recording of the album (fifth member, Guitarist C.B. Hudson, had left the band in 2010, but returned after Julian Mandrake parted with the band. C.B. will be joining the band to tour the album.) According to Justin, ''Sway'' represents the band's current outlook on life, and he wanted to keep the artwork simple to represent a simplification of life. The word "Sway" is also symbolic of the four band members, as the word has four letters. Keeping with the simplification theme, the band wanted to give the album a short one-word title, and "Sway" also fit because listening to the music made them want to dance. At one point the album was to be titled "Hard Candy", but that title was rejected after Justin's wife informed him that Madonna and Counting Crows had already released albums with that title. "Debris" was also considered as a title, but was dismissed following the 2013 Moore tornado.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=‘Sway’ With Blue October )〕 ''Debris'' was used for the title of the acoustic EP which accompanied the album.
