New Gomez album set for late March release

Gomez will release its new album, "A New Tide," March 31, according to a press release.

The album, the band's sixth studio outing, follows 2006's "How We Operate," which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's "Heatseekers" chart upon its release.

"A New Tide" features several guest musicians including vocalist Amy Milan (Stars, Broken Social Scene), bassist Josh Abrams (The Roots, Sam Prekop, Godspeed You Black Emperor!), cellist Oliver Krauss (David Gray, Paul Weller, Beth Orton), and multi-instrumentalist Stuart Bogie of Brooklyn's Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra.

Gomez plans to tour throughout 2009 in support of "A New Tide."
