Southend art-rockers Asylums have announced details of their upcoming fourth album, Signs Of Life.
The follow-up is to Genetic Cabaret is due out on October 14 via Cool Thing Records, with producer Dave Eringa teasing of how it was made, and what's to come: "When Luke [Branch, frontman] said he wanted to do an album at Rockfield in eight days – all played live and to integrate big strings into their sound – it sounded so ridiculous I thought, 'Let’s do this!'
"Only a band that can really play can do this kind of recording. No clicks, no tricks – all live off the floor, a few judicious overdubs, some amazing string arrangements from musical polymath Henry and a bizarre interruption from Countryfile – it was a pretty intense week and I couldn’t be prouder of them for what they achieved! They’ve really taken themselves to the next level."
