The Damned have announced their new forthcoming album ‘Evil Spirits’ due out on April 13 via Search and Destroy / Spinefarm Records. Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti produced the album after the band held a successful Pledge Music campaign. The lead off single ‘Standing On The Edge Of Tomorrow’ is now out on Spotify. ‘Evil Spirits’ can be pre-ordered now.
“We deliberately recorded the album retro style – the same way our debut album was made, basically,” says Captain Sensible.
“There’s something wonderful about the seventies sounds; glam, rock and punk records, they all sound so great and Tony specializes in beautifully crafted old school production. He had us all playing live, bashing it out in the same room with a focus on getting the initial band version of each song as close as possible to the finished thing.” (NME)
