The Damned return with fantastic new single ‘Standing On The Edge Of Tomorrow’

The Damned have returned with the fantastic new single ‘Standing On The Edge Of Tomorrow’ off of their upcoming 11th studio LP Evil Spirits, their first new album in ten years, following 2008’s So, Who’s Paranoid?

 

The album which was funded initially via Pledge Music, can be pre-ordered now, was produced by famed David Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti, and has a distinctly old school feel to it, reminiscent of the Black Album/Strawberries era of the band, which is appropriate given the return of bassist Paul Gray to the lineup, who performed on both those albums.

As reported by NME, guitarist and founding member Captain Sensible, spoke about recording the album in Brooklyn last year with Visconti:

“We deliberately recorded the album retro style – the same way our debut album was made, basically.

“There’s something wonderful about the seventies sounds; glam, rock and punk records, they all sound so great and Tony specialises in beautifully crafted old school production. He had us all playing live, bashing it out in the same room with a focus on getting the initial band version of each song as close as possible to the finished thing.”
