The album is the Chicago pop-punks follow-up to 2015’s American Beauty/American Psycho and is another journey into pop experimentation. Originally due out last summer, this album will now hit shelves in three short weeks. Heaven Before All Hell Breaks Loose sees Plan B return to the soulful tones of his 2010 album The Defamation of Strickland Banks and sees him working with Beyonce/Naughty Boy collaborator Arrow Benjamin, folkster Foy Vance, Fred Gibson, best known for his work with Ellie Goulding and Charli XCX and Kid Harpoon, who has helped Jessie Ware write some of her biggest hits. It’s been a good while since we heard anything from Ben Drew, he left us after the promotion run for his 2012 album/movie Ill Manors and has been working on a follow-up ever since. Title: Heaven Before All Hell Breaks Loose The band have been recording in Los Angeles with Mastodon/Biffy Clyro producer Rich Costey with the follow-up to their 2015 LP Drones currently at the end of 2018. But now they’re eyeing up their new album. The Devon trio spent 2017 enjoying their well-earned status at the top of festival bills, including a smashing headline stint at Reading and Leeds Festivals as well as undertaking a huge US tour with PVRIS and Thirty Seconds To Mars. One thing is for sure though, the album’s title Music For Cars is a whole lot shorter than their previous effort I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It. The Manchester foursome have been quiet in the second half of 2017 after completing their touring commitments and have been focusing on new material.īilled as the final album in a trilogy that began with their self-titled debut, early song titles include 'Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America' and 'I Always Wanna Die, Sometimes'.
Now back in the groove and recording with regular producer James Ford, you can expect to hear the album at some point this year.
When 2018 begins later this week it will have been five years since we had a new album from Arctic Monkeys, the longest gap in their career to date.Īfter the huge success of AM, the band have enjoyed some time off and some time for other projects, with frontman Alex Turner reviving The Last Shadow Puppets, drummer Matt Helders recording and touring with Iggy Pop and three of the band becoming fathers for the first time. Today it's the finale, the big guns, the biggest albums you can expect in 2018. Most will come out, some inevitably won't, but they are all worth getting excited about.
