STONE TEMPLE PILOTS will release their new album, "Perdida", on February 7. The mostly acoustic record was recorded at drummer Eric Kretz's Bomb Shelter Studio and produced by the bandmembers themselves. "This is an album we've been wanting to make for quite some time," STP bassist Robert DeLeo tells Rolling Stone. "Most of our songs start acoustically and we felt these would come across in the most genuine way if we kept them that way." According to singer Jeff Gutt, many of the songs on "Perdida" — the Spanish word for "loss" — deal with heartbreak and grief. "I was looking back at difficult moments in my life," he said. "I was trying to be vulnerable and that’s a scary thing to do, but it's also kind of comfortable." The first single from the disc, "Fare Thee Well", can be streamed below. The track is "about being on the road," says Robert. "And it's an observation about life." "Perdida" track listing 01. Fare Thee Well 02. Three Wishes 03. Perdida 04. I Didn't Know The Time 05.

Sunburst In support of "Perdida", STONE TEMPLE PILOTS will embark on a special acoustic North American tour of theaters and clubs.
