Following the announcement of their 14th studio album ‘We Are Love’, out 31st October via BMG, THE CHARLATANS return with its second offering, ‘Deeper and Deeper’.
A swirling, Hammond organ-driven belter with fat bass and fuzzy guitars, ‘Deeper and Deeper’ channels the band’s trademark psychedelic grooves while charting bold new territory.
An eight year gap between albums is the longest ever for one of the UK’s most enduring bands, but right place, right time, right vibe and the stars eventually aligned. THE CHARLATANS – Tim Burgess (vocals) Martin Blunt (bass), Mark Collins (guitar), Tony Rogers (keyboards), along with Pete Salisbury (drums) – carefully selected a production A-team of duo Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange and Lightspeed Champion) and Fred Macpherson (Spector, Rachel Chinouriri, Jessica Winter, Taahliah), plus legendary producer Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur, The Cranberries), alongside a list of engineers, mixers and collaborators that reads like a who’s who of alt rock greatness. The result has been well worth the wait.
