New Underworld album - Barking (Sept. 13, Sept 2 Japan)

[34958hq439-qjw9v5jq298v5j]

It is nice to see ALAF on here...I'm assuming it's the version they played live in Brixton two years back, with lyrics and all ("heaaaa-vann, heaaa-vaaaan, can you feel it??"), but part of me really hopes it's the "Silver Boots" version as well...also surprised to see "Moon in Water" here, I really wonder how it will sound, really liked that track as kind of like a demo thing, but obviously it didn't feel complete...looking forward to it

Really glad "Diamond Jigsaw" is on the thing...for some reason I was afraid that people wouldn't like the track (because of the 80's synth noise) and that it might not come out :S

Seriously though this album is gonna be massive!!!

I'm concerned about Bamboo. I really want to own this song. Really hoping it's been renamed.

not really, the chems never really did production collabs did they? They just brought in loads of guest vocalists.

from glasswerk.co.uk:

‘Barking’ is the title of Underworld’s first album in three years, and their first to be constructed with a brilliant cast of co-conspirators. All the tracks were written by the band in their Essex studio before being given to handpicked studio heads from across the whole spectrum of dance music to add some of their style and creativity to the band’s raw material. The result is a pimped-up Underworld record and their finest collection of songs in over a decade.

From the first undulating pulses of submariner bass, the first vocals – soft like a whisper in the ear - and the first fizz of hi-hats that force along the pace, the sound is unmistakably Underworld. Electronics wrapped effortlessly around songs; streams of consciousness lyrics that form indelible images; a perfectly balanced mix of melody and rhythm. Underworld’s sixth studio album is a thundering return to form, although it’s fair to say that the band responsible have never really been below par.

There we go; that must be the press release verbatim. That's the English version of what's posted on Traffic.

Wow, I wonder how many tracks there are like Scribble here?? Like, based off a tune we all know, but massively reworked, with new hooks and a whole new feel?? Really awesome to see Mark Knight and D Ramirez here since "Downpipe" was so good. The only thing is "Diamond Jigsaw", really hope they kept that one mostly the same!
