The band's ninth studio album, "IX," saw them return to a more experimental, less bombastic sound after the relative directness of their previous release, "Lost Songs of the Toro." This record is notable for its cohesive, dark, and often claustrophobic atmosphere.
- "IX" was self-produced by the band members, with additional engineering by Charles Godfrey, known for his work with The Maccabees and Everything Everything.
- The album was recorded primarily at the band's own compound in Marfa, Texas, with additional sessions at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas.
- Upon release, "IX" received generally positive reviews, with critics noting the band's continued evolution and willingness to explore darker, more intricate sonic territories.
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead is a rock band formed in Los Angeles in the early 1990s, currently based in Austin, Texas, known for their dynamic live performances and complex studio recordings. At the time of "IX," they were seven albums into their career, having recently parted ways with original bassist and co-frontman Daniel Angerer.
