As Prog revealed back in March, Jon Anderson has recorded a brand new album, TRUE. The album will be released through his new record label, Frontiers Records, on August 23.

The former Yes singer has recorded the new album with The Band Geeks, with whom he has been touring America for the past two years. The album was co-produced, engineered, and mixed by Band Geek bassist and musical director Richie Castellano.

TRUE features nine songs and is described by Anderson's new label "a collection of songs that harkens back to Yes’s classic 70’s sounds as well as to their latter-day success with the album 90125."
