Mettavolution is the follow-up to 9 Dead Alive and was recorded with producer Dave Sardy, who has worked with OK Go, Band of Horses, Wolfmother and more. Their latest was three years in the making and "brings together Rod y Gab’s passionate interest in Buddhism, the history of human evolution and the liberation of the potential we have as a species," according to a statement. 

Fans can get a taste of the new album through the lead single, title track "Mettavolution." "Metta is about making real things happen. It's not a surface level kind of change, it's about looking deeper," Rodrigo Y Gabriela tweeted.  

The first album's single, "Echoes," is an 18-minute tribute to the Pink Floyd song. For more information on the full tour dates, visit the duo's website.
