Ben Folds Five have set September 18 as the release date for The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind, the group’s first album of new music in 13 years. The music’s genesis took place via a successful grassroots direct-to-fans campaign on PledgeMusic, where artists and fans work together with charities to create albums and other projects.

The trio will release The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind on ImaVeePee Records/Sony Music Entertainment. Fans who’ve participated in the PledgeMusic campaign will receive an exclusive early delivery of the album. The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind_ includes a number of new songs, including “Erase Me”; “Michael Praytor, Five Years Later”; “Sky High”; “The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind”; “On Being Frank”; “Draw A Crowd”; “Do It Anyway”; “Hold That Thought”; “Away When You Were Here”; and “Thank You For Breaking My Heart”.

A portion of the funds generated by album sales, and other BFF items ordered by fans through PledgeMusic, will be used to support Music Education and Music Therapy, a charity personally chosen by Ben Folds Five. The organic pop trio reunited this spring and have appeared at festivals like Hunter, NY’s Mountain Jam and Manchester, TN’s Bonnaroo this spring.
