Future Of The Left have spoken about completing work on their new album ‘The Plot Against Common Sense’.
Re-working their line up, Future Of The Left entered the studio earlier this year. The Welsh rock warlords focussed on fresh material, with the new four piece line up stretching their studio muscles for the first time.
New EP ‘Polymers Are Forever’ is a powerful return, a typically unrelenting assault on the ears. Accompanied by a short burst of British shows, Future Of The Left are now focussing on their new album.
‘The Plot Against Common Sense’ is set to be released next year, with Andy Falkous recently blogging about the mastering process. “Yes. Done. Done’d. Dead. I can’t speak for everyone in our (never red – I HATE red) practice room but I’m incredibly proud of this record. It’s got everything I ever wanted in, on and through it. I’m also proud that we got here at all after all of the fruity fucking obstacles thrown in our way. (*3) We’re working through artwork ideas as we speak. Excitement. Relief. Hope. Hats. We’re hoping (well, it’s pretty damn certain) for a release early next year – more information on this when we have it to give you.”
The frontman also revealed the full tracklisting (well, the working tracklisting) for the album. On Sunday November 13th at 6.23pm the individuals known collectively as ‘future of the left’ left Abbey Road(*1) studios in London, England with a completed and mastered copy of their new long-form record, ‘the plot against common sense’.
