The Living End : 5th Album Release
Date: Monday, March 31, 2008
The Living End will head into the studio to record their new album with Sonic Youth producer John Agenllo at the helm.
Agenllo (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jnr, The Hold Steady) and the Melbourne band will record the new album this month at Water Music Studios in Hoboken, New Jersey.
"After quite a long period of writing/demoing we are keen as hell to get in the studio and make the best record of our career. We are more excited about the new material than any time before in The Living End’s history - seriously," frontman Chris Cheney said.
"There is a heaviness and depth to the new stuff that we simply haven't had before. We haven’t worked alongside producer John Agnello before but judging from the rock records he's done, we feel he can capture the energy and attack that we are after."
Commenting on The Living End’s new material Agnello said: "From the moment I heard the demos of the new songs, I knew this would be a special record. Chris's vocals really blew me away and the lyrics are great. There are some real standout songs, among them, "Kid" and "Waiting For The Silence." It also doesn’t hurt that they are my nephew's favorite band of all time and he's been up my ass about meeting them since I told him."
The album will be mixed by producer Brendan O'Brien, who will be mixing in between his commitments recording the new AC/DC album and the new Pearl Jam record.
Earlier this year The Living End road tested new material under the moniker, The Longnecks.
The Living End's first album on Dew Process/UMA is due out in mid-July.

Tony George, who heads the Australian Music Office in Los Angeles, said "The Living End, they are primed for a deal. They just had the number one record debut in Australia and a lot of labels are looking at them seriously"

The Living End have just spent the last part of the year recording their new album at the 301 Studios in Byron Bay, and off that forthcoming album, they bring us their brand-spanking new single ‘What’s On Your Radio’.
The nerdy folk are at it night and day tweaking the nobs and dials in the mixing room to get those final tweaks ironed out on what will be the remaining tracks from their highly anticipated new album.
The lads trust that What’s On Your Radio will no doubt satisfy their fanatical fan base over the next couple of months.
The album, as yet unnamed is due for release in early February, stay tuned to the 'Head for more details, as they hit our desks.
But for the meantime, you can catch The Living End out on the live circuit around the country. The Living End will be performing at Sydney’s Homebake Festival in the Domain on Saturday 3rd December and the Big Day Out when the band take those stages nationally in January 2006. |
