Death From Above 1979 detail new LP
By Aly Barchi | Published on Thursday 12 June 2014
A New Death From Above 1979 LP titled ‘The Physical World’ is on its way over, the band have confirmed, which is kind of a big deal considering the ten year gap that’s elapsed between this and their last (and first, in fact), ‘I’m A Woman, You’re A Machine’.
The pair, who split in 2006 only to reconcile in 2011, have been speaking to NME on the whole sordid affair, with drum/vocal man Sebastian Grainger saying: “No matter what Jesse [Keeler, bassist] and I do, on whatever scale of success it’s sat on, there’s always some kind of reference to Death From Above. It’s only frustrating because it’s so lazy. So we’re putting out a Death From Above record and if the press is like, ‘It’s not what we expected’, or however they react to it, it’s like, ‘Well, you’ve been fucking asking for it'”.
Damn right ‘the press’ did. And here it is. Or rather, here it will be when it’s released on 9 Sep via Warner Bros and Canadian label Last Gang Entertainment. And is there a teaser track? No there is not. There are, nevertheless, clips of new tracks playing via deathfromabove1979.com
