Glasvegas plot second album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 7 August 2009
Mercury nominees Glasvegas have revealed that they will begin recording their second album in LA later this year with producer Rich Costey, who oversaw their debut and recently produced that of the sort of similar-sounding Big Pink.
Frontman James Allan told the NME that over the coming months he will build a studio in his house in order to record demos of the new songs. He said: “I’ve got to set up the equipment in the house. I don’t like the idea of going into a studio and spending one block of time there. I’ve got a good bond with Rich, I believe he’s got more in him than the first record”.
He added that fans should expect new material to be a bit more upbeat than that of their debut: “[For the first album] I left myself in a position of being stuck with a grey cloud hanging over me. I wanted to escape it – I like to think that a lot of my thoughts and optimism are going towards being liberated”.
Allan also revealed some of the titles of these new, happier songs: ‘Sonic Silence’, ‘Whatever Hurts You Through The Night’, and ‘Born To Die’.
