2014 could witness two new album releases from The Cribs if the plans detailed by bass player Gary Jarman to NME this week come to fruition.
“We’re gonna try and do two new records, that’s the plan,” Jarman revealed. “Not a double album – two separate records, two separate sides to the band,” he said. “There’s one that’s going to be really noisy and visceral and immediate, and one that’s gonna be more pop. We’ve been writing for the past month or so and there’s definitely an idealistic concept of these two records, which has come from that.”
With brother and bandmate Ryan also tied up with his latest venture Exclamation Pony, Gary unsurprisingly added that the Yorkshire trio are ‘not in a rush’ to get cracking on new material, but does expect work to be underway by the beginning of next year.
“In my mind we’ll probably be recording by the beginning of next year,” he continued. “Judging by how we normally work, that’s how I see it.”
The Cribs will be in Leeds for a Christmas show at the city’s O2 Academy on December 19th, with ‘very special guests’ promised.
