Kansas are set to release a brand new album called The Absence of Presence on June 26th. The new album will feature 9 new tracks all written by Kansas, and produced by Zak Rizvi, and co-produced by Phil Ehart and Richard Williams.
The album follows-up 2016’s “The Prelude Implicit,” which debuted at #14 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart. KANSAS has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, and is famous for classic hits such as ‘Carry On Wayward Son’ and ‘Dust in the Wind’ to progressive epics like ‘Song for America.’
KANSAS guitarist, producer, and songwriter Zak Rizvi said of the record:
“We are really proud of the album ‘The Absence of Presence.” Making a new KANSAS album sets a very high musical standard that is expected from our fans. From rockers, to progressive epics, to ballads, there is something on this recording for everybody.”
KANSAS guitarist Richard Williams added:
“It’s been a while since the band has been able to perform in Europe, where we have some very passionate fans. We are excited to take the Point of Know Return Anniversary Tour across Europe. Not only will they hear us perform that album in its entirety, along with other hits and deep cuts, but they will be the first fans to hear some of the songs from ‘The Absence of Presence’ performed live.”
Kansas will hit up the Fox Cities PAC on April 18th for the Point of No Return Tour. CLICK HERE for tickets.
