Tautologic begins work on next album...
My rock band Tautologic began recording an ambitious new studio album in early 2025 with Grammy-nominated producer Rick Barnes. We have recorded basic tracks for 12 songs so far. Recording will continue into 2026 for what is currently planned to be a double album. In addition to new songs, the band is re-working old favorites and rarities.
Tautologic's 2021 album Wheels Fall Off received great reviews and airplay and was funded in part by an Illinois Arts Council grant from their Individual Artist Support program.
