The Go! Team are set to release their new album ‘Rolling Blackouts’ on January 31st.
Ending a break of nearly three years, The Go! Team have confirmed details of their latest batch of kaleidoscopic pop. Based in Brighton, the collective have reconvened for another blast of sheer musical energy.
Merging the ecstasy of Motown with the urgency of techno, The Go! Team plunder decades of material. Becoming cult heroes with their euphoric live show, the band are now set to return with a fresh batch of material.
Retreating to their base in Brighton, The Go! Team reversed their working process. Before, the band would patch together samples and after a while a song would form, the outline hardening through a fog of influences.
Now the band work from an acoustic guitar, writing the song before adding in layers of effects. Meticulous as ever, The Go! Team honed the sound until they were ready to call on a varied team of collaborators.
Best Coast singer Bethany Cosentino chips in on a couple of tracks, while hotly tipped rappers such as Dominique Young Unique, Lispector and more.
‘Rolling Blackouts’ is epic from the start, exploding into action with the Ninja-led ‘T.O.R.N.A.D.O.’. A blast of energy from start to finish, the new album is perhaps the bands most relentless to date.
As a special preview, The Go! Team have placed ‘T.O.R.N.A.D.O’ on their SoundCloud page. Click HERE to listen to it.
Meanwhile, the band are set to return to live duties in February. Kicking off on February 3rd, The Go! Team are due to open the tour in Glasgow’s Oran Mor before moving around the country.
