paul durham and black lab are pleased to announce
the release of their third album.

five years in the making, passion leaves a trace finds the band returning to the experimental foundation laid with their critically acclaimed geffen debut your body above me. passion bristles with deeply personal epics, each carved out of driving rock & roll, lush electronics and pure savage desire.

tracks from this brand new, 12-song, self-produced album can already be heard on FX’s promotion for the season debut of “the shield,” in CBS’s “numb3rs,” “ABC’s “6 degrees,”
and films the benchwarmers and lovewrecked.

using the incandescent riffs and soaring vocals that hooked fans in the first place, passion mixes walls of guitar with unexpected moments of synthesizer, breakbeat, and complete emotional breakdown. The majesty of “mine again,” the jet-black remorse of “this night,” the lush electronic loss of “weightless,” the driving blast of "the real you," the ache of "ghost in your mind," the schizophrenic poetry of “pictures of people,” and the slow trip of “the window” – all these different vibes come together to paint a portrait of love and the joy of total obsession.
