The Cribs Go Pop On New Album

The band decide to "concentrate on the melodies..."

Now operating as a three-piece once more, The Cribs are set to deliver new album 'For All My Sisters' on March 23rd.

Ahead of this, the Jarmans are busy giving fans a taste of what to expect. The band teamed up with veteran producer Ric Ocasek – Hole, Weezer – for the sessions, which seemingly find the brothers turning towards the pop side.

"There's a song called 'Burning For No One' that's so pop" Gary Jarman told the NME. "I think it might be too pop."

Ryan Jarman added: "I think this is the poppiest record since 'Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever'. When we did 'In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull', we used that as a chance to get the more abrasive songs out. With this one we fancied having that contrast of going back to where we concentrate on the melodies."

"There's always been some reason why (every record) has to be better than the last,” he continued. “The last record was the first one back as a three-piece [after Johnny Marr's exit]. There was all this gravity and it had to be better. This one, because it's the first one of the next 10 years, you feel that gravity again."

'For All My Sisters' will be released on March 23rd.
