The Living End are heading in to the studio to begin work on their sixth album, the follow up to 2008’s White Noise. They’re teaming up with producer Nick Didia which as worked with everyone from Bruce Springsteen, and Pearl Jam to Rage Against The Machine . According to front man Chris Cheney, the band met him while they were working on White Noise.
“We are super excited to be working alongside the very talented Nick Didia… He is a fantastic producer and he knows how to capture the sound and spirit of a band. This is very important for us.” He reckons. The new long player is out mid-year and they band have 40 songs which they will be whittling down to those which make the final cut.
Cheney says: “The aim has been to construct something more direct, simple and therefore tougher and bigger sounding than anything we’ve done before. We’ve spent a lot of time experimenting with the parts of the songs to achieve this. Also and most importantly this will be an album, not just a bunch of songs.”
