Royal Blood by Mads Perch
“It is without a doubt the most ambitious and wildest we have allowed ourselves to be and we can’t wait to invite you this far down the rabbit hole with us,” Royal Blood say.
Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher have offered up the latest preview of their new Royal Blood album Typhoons.
Out on April 30th, the comments above echo a regular theme from the duo since parts of their third record began to emerge, a drum Kerr was banging during an interview with Live4ever at the end of last year:
“It’s like Royal Blood in colour,” he told us. “It’s like we see those old war movies that start in black and white and then it becomes HD colour.”
“It’s an ultra-example of the first record. The real running theme is the lyrics, it all really takes place in my own head. It’s psychological – about anxiety, depression and this idea of being lost in thought, and all my experiences of that.”
“It’s lyrically claustrophobic, but musically it’s a simple idea, which Trouble’s Coming proved to us, that we could make AC/DC riffs over disco beats but still be completely ourselves.”
