!!! have announced their new album ‘Let It Be Blue’.
Set for release on 6th May on Warp Records, it's their first full-length since 2019's 'Wallop', and comes alongside a new single 'Storm Around The World'.
“’Storm Around the World’ is a song we’ve had since the last album that didn’t really come into focus until Maria Uzor from Sink Ya Teeth added her part and we turned it into a duet,” the band explain. “Originally an acid workout about parents who leave on tour it became much more than that with her vocal, which is equal parts sing-song and spoken word and whose lyrics helped add both a familiarity and a mystery to the song. On this record we were looking for basic minimal arrangements— sub-bass, drums and vocals mostly— and that approach is what finally let us support the vocal parts in a way that worked. The final piece was the beat that our producer Patrick Ford made that felt somewhere between programmed, sampled and played, a blurriness that is another feature of this album, ‘Let it be Blue’, which was mostly built on computers but doesn’t always sound or feel that way.”
