Go Behind the Scenes with the Aristocrats for the Recording of Their New Album
The Guthrie Govan-led instrumental act will release ‘You Know What…?’ June 28.
Back in April, the Aristocrats—guitarist Guthrie Govan, bassist Bryan Beller and drummer Marco Minnemann—announced their fourth studio album, You Know What…?, set for release on June 28.
Now, the band has shared a preview of the DVD they filmed while recording You Know What…? at Brotheryn Studios in Ojai, California. The bonus DVD, filmed and edited by Jon Luini and Arthur Rosato, will be available as part of the deluxe CD edition. It also includes an exclusive interview with the band along with lots of really cool studio footage.
You can check out the preview above.
Additionally, the deluxe CD edition of You Know What…? includes a 12-page booklet featuring “crazy” illustrations by album artist Hajo Muller.
