The Maccabees have confirmed their new album ‘Marks To Prove It‘ will be released on July 31st.
The band have already premiered the impressive title-track to the long awaited follow-up to their 2012 album ‘Given To The Wild‘, and have also now unveiled the artwork (pic) which is a David Busfield shot of the Faraday Memorial on Elephant & Castle roundabout.
“It became about the night time, the inner city stripped-back and about the band dynamic again,” says Felix White.
“One of the things we were clear about for the album, “ adds Orlando Weeks, “was not having too many voices, too many characteristics, so that you could get to know the sounds, the instruments. And then, at the end, that meant we could reintroduce those characters, not in a way that was aping what had gone before but as a familiar force.”
