!!! announce new album Let It Be Blue

It’s the ninth studio album from !!!.

!!! will return with their new album Let It Be Blue on May 6th.

As explained by the band, lead single Storm Around The World has been around for some time, going back to 2019’s Wallop, but finally came together once the contribution from Maria Uzor of Sink Ya Teeth reframed it as a duet:

“Originally an acid workout about parents who leave on tour it became much more than that with her vocal, which is equal parts sing-song and spoken word and who’s lyrics helped add both a familiarity and a mystery to the song.”

“On this record we were looking for basic minimal arrangements– sub-bass, drums and vocals mostly– and that approach is what finally let us support the vocal parts in a way that worked.”

“The final piece was the beat that our producer Patrick Ford made that felt somewhere between programmed, sampled and played, a blurriness that is another feature of this album, Let It Be Blue, which was mostly built on computers but doesn’t always sound or feel that way.”
