Sorority Noise have announced their new album YNAAYT, an acoustic reimagining of their 2017 album You're Not As ____ As You Think.

YNAAYT is set to be released March 16 via Triple Crown Records. What else is cool? The vinyl release of YNAAYT is part of the Mindful Vinyl series, with a portion of the proceeds going to the JED Foundation, which works with teens and young adults to prevent suicide and protect emotional health.

With the announcement of the new album, Sorority Noise also released “Chelsea Hotel #2,” a cover of Leonard Cohen's classic, which just so happens to be one of two new songs featured on the new album. Give it a listen below:

“We got together in the summer of 2017 and rearranged You’re Not As ______ As You Think with strings (performed and arranged by the brilliant Michael Underwood) as well as other instrumentation to evoke a different perspective for the songs and record as a whole,” Cameron Boucher explains.

“We replaced 'Where Are You?' with a cover of Leonard Cohen’s 'Chelsea Hotel #2,' and it’s streaming now. YNAAYT is available at our webstore now and will be released on the one year anniversary of the record released before it. Thanks so much for your support and we hope you enjoy.”
