The Cribs, who have just unveiled details of their fifth album entitled 'In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull' which will be released on 7th May via Wichita Records.
The Cribs new album marks a return to their classic three-piece status and heralds another chapter in the trajectory of the Jarman brothers. Here's a taster:
Recorded in upstate New York courtesy of Dave Fridmann’s Tarbox Road studio, with Fridmann at the controls, a short self produced session at London’s Abbey Road and a few days in Chicago with enigineer Steve Albini at his EAR studio, the band have certainly clocked up the miles recording this hotly anticipated follow up to 2009’s UK Top Ten album 'Ignore The Ignorant'.
