Feeder and Sea Power will both release new albums early next year through partnerships with both label services firm Absolute and direct-to-fan specialists Townsend Music. In the case of the latter company, both bands will tap into the firm's new D2C Plus service.
"This being Sea Power's eighth studio album, we felt we wanted to be more in control of how it was released", says the band's manager David Taylor. "Working with Absolute and Townsend Music has given us exactly that. It all feels very collaborative, creative and focused. With the combined skill sets of each company, we feel the album is setting up very nicely for 2022".
Feeder's manager Matt Page adds: "After three consecutive UK top ten albums, it was important for the band and me that we carried on this momentum and pushed forward rather than rest on our successes. Teaming up with Absolute and Townsend has given us a direct route to our loyal fanbase plus additional clout to push into a wider audience".
"The new album, 'Torpedo', signals a band refreshed and progressing from the previous album 'Tallulah'", he goes on. "Partnering with Absolute and Townsend Music has given the album and the band the attention and focus that is needed in an increasingly competitive marketplace".
Sea Power are set to release new album 'Everything Was Forever' on 18 Feb. Feeder's 'Torpedo' album will follow on 18 Mar.
