Maccabees start work on third album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 2 September 2010
You might think that The Maccabees haven’t yet started work on their third album. But you’d be wrong, because they have. They’ve written two whole songs. How many songs have you written for the new Maccabees album? None. So get off your high horse about it, will you?
Speaking to BBC 6music, guitarist Felix White said: “We’re getting there. We’ve got two songs into a playable shape and there are hundreds of ideas. It’s starting to feel really good and like music that we’ve never done before. It’s better and exciting and something to wake up and think about. The next album is a long way from having everything there together but even the first two songs that we’ve got just sound great to me. We’re getting better and we still have that newness. So, why shouldn’t we make a better record this time round?”
Earlier this year, White put together a playlist for us, filled with music that had influenced the sound of the band’s last album, ‘Wall Of Arms’. Check it out here.
