Art of Fighting - Back, Down, Forward, High Punch

Art of Fighting have finally set the title and release date for their new album (thanks to mess+noise).

March 10th: Art of Fighting - Runaways (Remote Control Records)

Ollie says it's "more intimate, lyrically and sonically, than... Second Storey"; it's more the close-miked, straight-recorded style they pulled off so beautifully on Wires than the fully-produced, lush sound of the also gorgeous Second Storey. The single, Eastbound, was one of my favourite songs of last year, and judging from the single and the b-side, Night on Night, that's about right. The songs come out pretty much as they're played live, with the baby-bum smooth tones that the band are renowned for and just about one level of keyboard highlights.

I'm listening to the single now but after this it goes at back of the drawer until the album comes out - don't want to ruin it.

But I'm damn excited!
