‘Bye Bye 17’, the much-anticipated new album from acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer Har Mar Superstar (aka Sean Tillmann), will be released on 6th May through Cult Records.

This is Tillmann’s fifth, full-length release as Har Mar Superstar and follows his critically acclaimed 2009 release, ‘Dark Touches’. Of asking him to join the label, Cult Records founder Julian Casablancas notes, “First time I saw Sean was at the Mercury Lounge years back, and I was blown away by his voice, his confidence and his showmanship. When he recently played me his new record I felt it was something we could help make truly great. He’s the man with the golden voice, and we’re excited to try and turn people on to that fact… like the dude himself, the record’s just tough, sad, hilarious and rad.”

Written in New York City, the 10-song album was recorded at co-producer Jim Eno‘s (Spoon) Austin studio with a full live band. Focusing more on his voice this time Tillmann says, “I was listening to a lot of Otis Redding and Sam Cooke at the time, and I’ve always been obsessed with those guys…’Restless Leg,’ ‘We Don’t Sleep,’ ‘Prisoner’ and ‘Rhythm Bruises’ came out of people playing together. But the rest were just like me in a room, gettin’ weird, by myself.”
