British folk-punk singer, Frank Turner is currently recording a new full-length album and today he has posted a little update from the studio. Looks like the tentative release date has been pushed back to early summer from the previously stated “Spring” but sounds like things are steadily moving forward. Here’s the update in Frank’s words:
Week two in the studio dawns with much to be satisfied with. We made much quicker progress in the first week than we were expecting in the end, finishing up all drums, bass, piano and electric guitars, as well as nailing the atheist gospel choir thing. This morning my good friend Franz Nikolay came in to play accordion, and we’ve started in on the vocals now, which is always the most nerve-wracking part of the process for me, personally. But we’re nearly 3 songs down already, so we’re making good time.
The album, incidentally, is due for release in the early summer. I can’t be more specific than that just yet, the people who organise these things are, well, organising them. I have an album title in mind, but it’s currently being checked out by legal people to make sure it’s OK for me to use. We’re working on 15 songs; I doubt that all of them will make the album proper (though it’s tempting). Everything sounds really strong right now.
Turner recently released a 5 song EP titled “Rock & Roll.” Check out a review on it here.
