Midlake, Band of Horses, Franz Ferdinand, Travis, Supergroup BNQT Announce Debut Album, Stream "Restart"

BNQT, the new indie-supergroup formed by members of Midlake, Grandaddy, Band of Horses, Franz Ferdinand, and Travis, have announced they will release their debut album 'Volume 1.' on April 28 via Dualtone/Bella Union.

BNQT is conceived and led by Eric Pulido of Midlake and featuring Ben Bridwell of Band of Horses, Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand, Fran Healy of Travis, Jason Lytle of Grandaddy with backing from other Midlake members McKenzie Smith (drums), Joey McClellan (guitar) and Jesse Chandler (keys).

The concept of BNQT (pronounced “Banquet”) came to Pulido while touring for Midlake's 2013 release, 'Antiphon.' Gathering a number of contrasting yet complementary artists he’d befriended or shared the stage with, Pulido set out to establish a new creative environment untethered from other work – “Like a poor man’s version of the Traveling Wilburys!” he says.

"That's what art is about for me," Pulido continues, "creating with other people that you love and appreciate."
