Gomez singer and guitarist Ben Ottewell will release his second solo album, Rattlebag, on October 28 via The End Records on October 28. Fans who pre-order the album will receive the album’s lead track, “Red Dress,” as a download.

“It’s a song about love, conflict and the armor we wear to get by, how sometimes surrender is better than continuing to fight,” Ottewell said in a statement.

Ottewell issued his first solo album Shapes & Shadows in 2011 on ATO. Like on that album, for Rattlebag Ottewell once again collaborated with childhood friend and his Shapes & Shadows writing partner Sam Genders, previously of Tunng.
