Manic Street Preachers working on two new albums
Following their release of tenth studio album Postcards from a Young Man back in 2010, the Manic Street Preachers are reportedly working on not one, but two new records.
Speaking to reporters at the Ivor Novello Awards last Thursday, singer James Dean Bradfield said: “We’ve virtually finished the first, which is acoustic… has a soul vibe, with Rolling Stones-style horns. The first single is very positive, but there are darker moments too.”
Bradfield continued to reveal that both Cate Le Bon and Richard Hawley would feature on the release. The second LP – on the other hand – has been further described as sounding “more aggressive and experimental”.
Meanwhile, the Manics recently revealed a series of shows in Australia later this summer to coincide with the British Lions rugby tour of the country. No due date is yet known for their forthcoming double album outing.
