New Model Army, the legendary global underground cult band from Bradford, have announced the title of their hotly anticipated 12th Studio album.
The self-produced set was finished earlier this year in Los Angeles with Joe Barresi mixing, (Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age, Tool) Whilst New Model Army have always been noted for encompassing a wide variety of musical 'styles', the record still marks a major evolution in their sound.
Entitled "Between Dog and Wolf" the album is filled with multi-layered drums and atmospheric musical textures while sacrificing none of the band's famous passion and song-writing skills. The album is scheduled for release in September.
Says founder, lead Singer and main songwriter Justin Sullivan "After a series of purist 'rock-band-in-a-room' albums over the last eight years, we felt it was time to do something a bit different and sonically this is the best album we've ever made. The title comes from a medieval French expression for dusk – when it's hard to distinguish between dog and wolf, friend or foe. That sense of contradiction represents the band very well and there's also something of this sense of transformation in the album".
A feature-film documentary on the history of the band directed by Royal Television Society Award winning Director Matt Reid, which has been over 3 years in the making, is in the final stages of editing for release in September, coinciding with the album.
