Alabama Shakes will release their new album Sound And Color on April 20.
The follow-up to 2012's Boys & Girls comprises 12 tracks, including "Future People" and "Don't Wanna Fight", which you can hear below. The album was recorded in Nashville at the Sound Emporium studio, and the band co-produced the album with Blake Mills. "We took our time to write this record, and I'm really glad we did," says Brittany Howard. "We were able to sit down and think about what's exciting to us. This record is full of genre-bending songs."
Alabama Shakes and Django Django are among 150 artists announced for this year's Great Escape festival. The annual convention sees over 400 artists play between May 14-16, 2015, at 35 venues around Brighton.
Jams, folks. Please take ten minutes to watch the excellent clips below from Natural Child and Chris Forsyth. The image above is the cover of Forsyth’s tremendous forthcoming album, which I’ll try my damnedest to write about in the next day or two.
