PLAID NEW ALBUM DETAILS
ANNOUNCED
1 August 2003 |
 |
Details
of the new Plaid
album, Spokes, have been announced. The album,
due to be released on 20 October on Warp, is described
as ‘a return in mood, if not production, to some
of their earlier work in the 90’s as The
Black Dog’. The album is also deemed to be ‘unashamedly
optimistic in parts’ but ‘reaches more melancholic
and darker spaces than their recent outings on Warp’.
Spokes was conceived during the band’s
2002 American and European tour, and recorded and produced
during the following five months. |
