If you’re all wondering why we’ve been so quiet for most of this year, it’s because we’ve been hard at work on our new album. We can now tell you a few things about it – it’s called King of the Sugarcoated Tongues, it will be out in Spring 2011 (European spring, that is) and it’s very very different to Living Receiver,
Firstly, it’s a concept album (well, technically it’s a ‘rock opera’, since there’s a story involved). Secondly, it’s us being 100%, well….. us.
The other thing to mention is that we’re setting sail for Europe next Saturday. Not sure when we’ll be back – it’s an open ended thing. We’ve got some great shows booked already though, and we’ve been selected to showcase at the Popkomm festival in Berlin in a couple of weeks, so it looks like things are off to a flying start.
Between now and the album release date we’ll be posting lots of behind the scenes stuff – footage from the studio, artwork previews etc. As a start, we’ve put up 2 tracks from the new album for you to check out – “The Piper’s Mirror” and to give you a glimpse of our prog side, the 8 minute “The Captain”. Check ‘em out on the music page – http://www.thesunpilots.com/music.
Now… back to packing.
