Ben Folds Five sets release for new album, 'The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind'

Ben Folds Five has announced the release date and artwork for their first album in 13 years, The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind, and fans have just two short months to wait.

The album will be available Tuesday, September 18. Fans who supported the project via PledgeMusic contributions will receive early delivery. The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind will be released by ImaVeePee Records and Sony Music Entertainment.

Release of the album comes less than a week into the band's North American tour and two days after their show at Cary's Booth Amphitheatre, so hopefully local fans will have the opportunity to hear the new material live.
