Japandroids announce wild new album
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 3 November 2016
Japandroids have announced that they will release new album ‘Near To The Wild Heart Of Life’ on 27 Jan.
As with the duo’s previous two LPs, 2009’s ‘Post-Nothing’ and 2012’s ‘Celebration Rock’, the new album is eight songs long – this being the number of songs that feature on all the best rock albums, they have decided.

This time around, the record has also been designed for vinyl, the songs on each side following their own loose narrative, tied together with the final track as an epilogue.
The announcement of ‘Near To The Wild Heart Of Life’ comes accompanied with a new single, which I assume is what you’re really here for. In which case, you’d better have a listen to that single, also called ‘Near To The Wild Heart Of Life’, here:
