NEW MODEL ARMY have announced the release of a new album and a major tour of the UK and Europe.
From Here follows on from their successful studio albums Between Dog And Wolf (2013) and Winter (2016), which have seen a revival of fortunes for the longserving Bradford band.
The new album was recorded earlier this year at Ocean Sound Recordings studio on the tiny Norwegian island of Giske.
“We all have different lives and different tastes in almost everything, including music”, they say. “One thing we have in common is the love of bleak, open, cold, rugged landscapes – water, snow, rock. So this was the perfect place for us to work on something collectively – at all times while we were working, we could look up and see the sky, the sea and melting snow on the mountains, all in a constant state of change. So this album has a feel that is different to our other albums, but it still contains all the elements that characterise our peculiarly unidentifiable music – perhaps even more than ever. And From Here was an obvious title. The record belongs to a very special place and a particular time – what is happening in the world, where we are as a band and where we are as people.”
From Here is set for release on 23 August through EarMusic, and is available to pre-order in various bundles here.
The album release will be followed in October, kicking off in Southampton on the 8th, winding up in Nottingham on 21 December and taking in a London date at the Electric Ballroom on 14 November, as well as shows in France, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, the Netherlands and Istanbul.
