It is available on CD, vinyl and as a digital download.[1] Financed with more than $250,000 from approximately 6,300 contributors on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter, it is the first full-length studio release since the band's 1997 album Coil.[2][3] Background and recordingFollowing the band's official breakup in 1998 the members played numerous shows and released several albums, including a compilation of hits and fan favorites in 1999 (P.S. (A Toad Retrospective)), a live album in 2004 (Live at the Arlington Theatre, Santa Barbara 1992) and a greatest hits album in 2011 (All You Want). The band recorded two new studio tracks for P.S. (A Toad Retrospective) and a Christmas song originally performed by Sam Phillips titled "It Doesn't Feel Like Christmas" in 2011. In an interview with Yahoo Music published on July 29, 2014, singer/guitarist Glen Phillips described the one-off shows and the time period around them:
On March 22, 2013, it was announced on the band's Facebook page that the recording process of their new album was finished.[5] The album was produced, engineered and mixed by Mikal Blue at Revolver Studios in Thousand Oaks, California.[3] FundingTo fund the album, the band decided to use the crowdfunding source Kickstarter with hopes of raising $50,000 within a few months. The goal was reached in just 20 hours and eventually surpassed $250,000.[3][4] ReleaseOn June 29, 2013, the full album (known as the Advance Digital Download Deluxe Edition) was made available as a download to contributors of the Kickstarter campaign. The band put together several bundles of the release based on the amount pledged. Some packages included signed copies, limited editions and even personal appearances.[3] The physical and retail digital release came October 15, 2013, through the band's independent record label, Abe's Records.[1] Critical reception{{Album reviews| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|3.5|5}}[6] | rev2 = PopMatters | rev2Score = 6/10[7] | rev3 = WhatCulture! | rev3Score = {{rating|4|5}}[8] }}New Constellation received mostly positive feedback from music critics. Michael Perone of WhatCulture! describes the album's tracks as having "a sunny pop sheen reminiscent of their home state’s weather," and that "it’s difficult to get any of the melodies out of your head."[8] Fred Thomas of AllMusic writes, "Older, wiser, and with a newfound hopefulness that wasn't there in their younger days, Toad deliver an uncluttered and thoughtful next step of their ongoing songcraft."[9] Track listing{{Track listing| all_writing = Toad the Wet Sprocket | title1 = New Constellation | length1 = 3:19 | title2 = California Wasted | length2 = 3:50 | title3 = The Moment | length3 = 4:06 | title4 = Rare Bird | length4 = 4:22 | title5 = I'll Bet On You | length5 = 3:46 | title6 = Golden Age | length6 = 4:40 | title7 = Get What You Want | length7 = 3:20 | title8 = Is There Anyone Out There | length8 = 3:45 | title9 = Life Is Beautiful | length9 = 3:22 | title10 = The Eye | length10 = 4:28 | title11 = Enough | length11 = 6:05 |total_length = 45:10 }}{{tracklist | headline = Advance Digital Download Deluxe Edition and European CD[3] | title12 = Friendly Fire | length12 = 4:02 | title13 = Last to Fall | length13 = 3:38 | title14 = I'm Not Waiting | length14 = 3:11 | title15 = Finally Fading | length15 = 3:04 |total_length = 59:03 }} ChartsNew Constellation debuted at No. 97 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 4,000 copies in its first week of release.[10]
