THE STRANGLERS RELEASE A BEHIND THE SCENES ‘TRACK CHAT’ AHEAD OF THE RELEASE OF THEIR NEW ALBUM ‘DARK MATTERS’
The Stranglers have released a behind the scenes ‘track chat’ ahead of their forthcoming new album ‘Dark Matters’, which is due for release on the 10th September.
In the ‘track chat’, we get a sneaky listen to the track ‘The Lines’ and some great behind the scenes insight from JJ, Baz and producer Louie Nicastro.
Check it out below:
The Stranglers released an animated music video for The Lines last week. The album is due for release on the 10th September via the bands own Coursegood imprint, via Absolute, and is available to pre-order from all good record stores. The Stranglers official store hosts a variety of special items from a limited-edition cassette album to ‘red/black smoke’ coloured limited edition heavy-weight vinyl.
In addition, all pre-orders for the album (on any format) will receive a special bonus CD titled ‘Dave Greenfield – A Tribute’ through the official store. This bonus CD, featuring 8 unreleased live recordings, was selected by the surviving members with a view to celebrating Dave’s unique talent. Dave tragically passed away a year ago from Covid-19 and the first single
‘And If You Should See Dave…’, is an honest tribute to their much-missed keyboard player. The bonus CD also includes two of the new tracks performed by Dave, live versions of four Stranglers songs that Dave is famous for having performed vocals on, and one of the last ever recordings of the band from their 2019 Japanese tour.
