Instrumental math-rock band El Ten Eleven shared news of a new album called Nowhere Fast this week,  out on April 10 on Joyful Noise Recordings.

"The title is us poking fun at how old we are getting," bassist Kristian Dunn says in a press statement. "Everything you hear other than drums is coming from a fretless acoustic bass guitar (yes, with loads of effects at times!). On our new record, side one was recorded with my usual electric basses, but side two is all on the acoustic."

The new record is the band's 16th release and 11th album.
