Overview
The Rakes release their long-awaited third album today.
'KLANG' is the product of a stint in Berlin with producer Chris Zane.
Late in 2008, the band holed up with him at Planet Roc Studios to record the follow up to 'Ten New Messages', and the result is pure, distilled The Rakes vintage as seen on lead track '1989'.
The full tracklisting is:
That's The Reason
The Loneliness Of The Outdoor Smoker
Bitchin' in the Kitchin'
The Woes Of The Working Woman
1989
Shackelton
The Light From Your Mac
Muller's Ratchet
The Final Hill
To celebrate, the band will play a special gig at London's Rough Trade East at 6pm tonight.
Wristbands will be available from 5pm at the store (first come first serve)!
