The Chemical Brothers are set to release their seventh studio album, Further, on June 8, 2010 on Freestyle Dust/Parlaphone/Astralwerks. This album is the band’s first to be released with corresponding films made specifically to match each of the 8 audio tracks. The films will be included on an iTunes LP and special edition DVD.
Nearly three years on from the release of their GRAMMY® Award winning and fifth consecutive UK Number 1 album We Are The Night (the album that contains the song Galvanize with Q-tip on vocals), Further sees Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons explore the boundless possibilities of their sound. Further is the culmination of nearly two decades of psychedelic exploration, an immersive collection that finds The Chemical Brothers at their least-restrained and most-melodic best.
Further is the band’s first proper partnership with long-time visuals collaborators Adam Smith and Marcus Lyall. Now a respected TV and film director, Adam – aka Flat Nose George - has created visuals for to correspond with each track on the album Further.
The band will play four shows at London's Roundhouse in May. and they will also play select festivals in Europe including Sonar Festival in Barcelona. Then, they will come to the US for summer dates including gigs at the Hollywood Bowl on August 29 and Electric Zoo at Randall's Island in New York City on September 4. I hope to be one of the lucky audience members in attendance at the Hollywood Bowl on August 29.
