Architects: a ottobre il nuovo album “The Classic Symptoms of a Broken Spirit”

Comunicato stampa:

Continuando la loro fulminea ascesa, gli Architects annunciano un nuovissimo album in studio intitolato “The Classic Symptoms of a Broken Spirit”, che uscirà tramite Epitaph il prossimo 21 ottobre.

They also reveal a new track entitled ”tear gas”, the second single from the new album.  The first being the anthemic “when we were young”, which whet the appetites of fans and so far has streamed over 6.5 times by the band’s 1.6 million monthly Spotify.

‘the classic symptoms of a broken spirit’ will be the band’s 10^th studio album and is the follow-up to last year’s critically acclaimed UK number 1 album “For Those That Wish To Exist”.  The band barely had time to celebrate success when they began the process or writing the songs that make up the new record.  Produced by Dan Searle and Josh Middleton, with additional production from Sam Carter at Deacon’s Middle Farm Studios and their own HQ, Electric Studios in Brighton.   The band were buoyed by finally being back in the room together after their last album was made mostly remotely due to COVID restrictions, the result was something altogether more “free, playful and spontaneous’ the bands drummer and songwriter Dan explains.

The album is a blast of energy with layers of electronic and industrial sounding moments that set the cinematic moodscape for the 11-track ride. There is more than a passing nod to the band’s post-rock influences as well as now familiar fist pumping anthems such as “when we were young”, and new single ‘tear gas’.  “Anything is possible – wake up the unstoppable.”

These big announcements follow the recent news that the band will be the special guests on the Biffy Clyro’s UK & Ireland arena tour in November.  The tour kicks off on the 5^th at Leeds First Direct Arena and includes a show at London’s O2 Arena on November 12^th.  Full list of dates is below, and tickets are on sale now via THIS link. The band will also embark on a German arena tour and play a Dutch festival in January 2023. Those dates are listed below as well. Tickets on general sale now – HERE.
