Well, we have to say the new Turin Brakes album caused much excitement when it arrived here at CMU - the sleeve it arrived in lives up to the album title of 'JackInABox' with the CD flying out of the case as you open it. As for the music, well, alas we can't comment, because the CD comes with some of that very clever DRM technology that protects EMI's copyright by stopping anyone from actually listening to the music. But we are still looking forward to the first single release, 'Fishing For A
Dream', which has been confirmed as having a 16 May release date. B-sides on that release will include two new songs recorded during the sessions for the new album, plus a live recording of their cover version of AC/DC's 'What's Next To The Moon'.
Lovely. The album, clever DRM and all, is out on 30 May, with a mini-tour to follow:
