The Futureheads Announce A Capella Album 'Rant'

The Futureheads have announced details of an a capella album.

The album, set for release on April, will consist entirely of capella versions of the band's tracks and a number of cover versions.

Joint frontman Ross Millard said: "If we were gonna carry on making music we needed to change it up.

"Making another Futureheads record as per usual wasn't something that appealed to us. We've always been a four-part harmony group; it's been a massive part of the genetics of this band."

The tracklisting for 'Rant' is as follows:

'Meantime'
'Meet Me Halfway'
'Robot'
'Beeswing'
'Thursday'
'Sumer Is Icumen In'
'The Keeper'
'The No. 1 Song in Heaven'
'The Old Dun Cow'
'Acapella'
'Man Ray'

To coincide with the album's release the band will embark on a full UK tour.

The janut will kick off at Bristol's Colston Hall on April 3 and conclude on April 13 at Manchester's Royal Northern College of Music
