Matt Pryor (formerly of The Get Up Kids) has announced that he will be releasing a new live album on December 9. The eleven-track effort is entitled Nine Forty Live and it features recordings from an intimate show he played at the Lawrence Arts Theater in Kansas earlier this year.

The new live album features a special backing orchestra that includes live strings, a banjo, and a full horn section. It also contains tracks taken from his solo album and a few songs he had previously written with The New Amsterdamns. Pryor shares (via Equal Vision), “I’ve been trying to make this mini-orchestra show happen for about eight years. I love how it turned out but I don’t think I’ll ever do it again. It’s a logistical nightmare. Good thing we got it on tape.”

1. Don’t Let the Bastards Get You Down
2. Without A Sound (Eleanore)
3. Ex’s and Oh’s

6. Blood On the Floor
7. As If I Could Fall In Love With You Again
