FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

REPRISE RECORDS TO RELEASE EVERYTHING MUST GO, STEELY DAN'S FIRST ALBUM SINCE 2000'S GRAMMY®-WINNING TWO AGAINST NATURE

In Stores Tuesday, May 6 June 10

Steely Dan is releasing Everything Must Go (Reprise) on May 6 June 10. It is Walter Becker and Donald Fagen's first release since 2000, when their Two Against Nature -- the duo's first studio release in 20 years -- garnered multiple Grammy® awards including "Album Of The Year".

Listeners anticipating Steely Dan's patented amalgam of sonic perfection, sinuous musicality, and subversive storytelling will not be disappointed by the new release, whose musical allusions range from Pharaoh Sanders to Tommy James, and whose literary echoes bound from William Gibson to Burmashave. Featured lyrics include such catchy phrases as "and that's when she jumped the turnstile" and "hey -- is that a horseshoe crab"?

Everything Must Go took roughly a year to record -- a veritable wind sprint given Becker and Fagen's legendary meticulousness in the studio. "We went for live tracking this time and got great, in-the-pocket tracks," says Becker. Donald Fagen adds "It's mad: it's wiggy: I love it".

No doubt someone will start a "Why "Everything Must Go" is crap" thread shortly after it's released.

Well, is it May 6th or June 10th? Which one?
I am looking forward to it anyway. I was very glad when SD beat out Eminem to win the Grammy a couple of years ago Smile

"Everything must go!" was the focus of the Senator's speech/story in the mini-series Wild Palms. WG gets his cameo in that series right after the speech concludes when the Senator grabs him for an introduction.
