SAID THE WHALE’s new studio album Little Mountain will be released in North America on March 6, 2012 via Hidden Pony Records/EMI. It will be released in the U.K. and Europe on March 12. The 15 track long player is the band’s third studio record. The 2011 JUNO Award winning band for New Group Of The Year released the first single from the new album, the dancefloor-catchy Heavy Ceiling before the end of 2011. It’s currently a Canadian Alt-Rock/ Active Rock favourite, this week seeing play at stations across the country from St. John’s to Vancouver. According to Mediabase, Heavy Ceiling is the #3 Top 10 Gainer and #2 Most Added track at Alternative Rock. The single reflects theconfident, and razor sharp sound fans can expect from this new Said The Whale album. Little Mountain was produced by Tom Dobrzan-ski and mixed by multiple Grammy Award winner, Jack Joseph Puig.

To launch the record, Said The Whale has completed videos for all of the 15 album tracks. Working in partnership with Vancouver-based production company, Amazing Factory www.amazingfactory.com. The first video will be revealed on February 7 via Exclaim.ca

On February 20, Little Mountain will be available for pre-order from iTunes. On February 25, the band will host a very special video screening and album launch at the Rio Theatre in their hometown of Vancou-ver. This will mark the beginning of the customary Said The Whale whirlwind tour schedule that will take the band across Canada, through the US and the UK and Europe this year.

Said The Whale, with Little Mountain has produced their most adventurous effort yet; with juggernaut production values, song suites thatexplode out of the speakers and tracks that blend seamlessly into one another. It finds the group defying rock conventions without sacrificing any of their pop smarts. More di-verse than previous albums, Little Mountain is a multi-stylistic tour-de-force that ventures into everything from soaring, horn-laden cabaret ("The Reason") to jaggedly syncopated rock ("We Are 1980") and effer-vescent guitar pop ("Loveless").
