Today Briars of North America announces its new album, Supermoon and shares Sala, the first single/video sung in a language of the group s own invention called H reh. You can pre-order the album here and watch the video below.

Ahead of the release, New Madrid’s Phil McGill sat down with two legendary musicians, Dave Schools of Widespread Panic and Vanessa Briscoe Hay of Pylon, to discuss the evolution of the town where all three bands got their start: Athens, Georgia.
