Reverend & The Makers have picked Juliet Knows as the next taster of their forthcoming The Death Of A King album.
The single, featuring guest vocals from Joe Carnall of Sheffield neighbours Milburn, is available now, to be followed by the LP on September 22nd after sessions out in Thailand at Karma Sound Studios. “As soon as we got there, the king of Thailand died,” Jon McClure remembers.
“And there was a mad monsoon. Most of the town went into mourning and shut down, and all the people who worked at the studio were wearing black. There was this whole ceremony for the king, which was quite moving but it put a weird atmosphere in the air.”
