Underworld have announced a brand new album, and are set to return to London next spring. Full dates and ticket details are below
Titled Barbara Barbara, We Face A Shining Future, the new album will be released on 18 March, and the electronic group are opening their European tour with two shows at the Roundhouse in Camden.
“So what’s there in the shining future?" say the band. "The opening punch of a two-note detuned bass riff crunching over relentless percussion; the elegiac swoop of strings as they stretching out across off-world electronics; a demented lupine howl that curls itself into an unshakeable earworm; celestial techno and South American acoustics; voices that warp into harmonic riffs; found lyrics that form fine-tuned monologues; head music to dance to."
They added: "It’s fair to say that Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future finds Underworld creatively reborn. Its seven tracks are fleet-footed, raw and spontaneous - a direct result of a strict working process in the studio that saw the band (Rick Smith and Karl Hyde) write entirely new music each time they met. That process has helped produce an album that stands alongside the recently reissued classics dubnobasswithmyheadman and Second Toughest In The Infants."
