This just in from Shark Attack Media:
For Immediate Release:
Fresh news from the Fiction Plane camp!!!
The band is currently logging time at RAK Recording Studios in London mixing its yet-untitled third full length release, once again under the capable supervision of producer Paul Corkett. Says drummer Pete Wilhoit on working with Corkett: “It's been amazing working with Paul again. He's the perfect combination of old school and new school. He knows his s*** and loves to explore sonically. He's so dedicated to the project, and always finding new ways to improve the music. No one works harder! He won't stop until its right and he goes on virtually no sleep and very little food. It's been a joy working with him again."
The band has recorded 14 songs for contention for the album, which Wilhoit says, “has real depth to it; a lot of layers. We've hit some new soundscapes for this trio - it's really exciting to hear."
Vocalist/bassist Joe Sumner offers his unique spin on how the album is shaping up: “We've carried Stonehenge-sized chunks of brightly colored magic soap back and forth across the Atlantic using only spindly twiggy rafts built out of old guitars. The ocean dehydration sent us all a little bit loopy and when we got to the studio, we forgot to scrape all the creativity off the soap and it left the tape sopping wet with the stuff. You know when soap looks and smells good enough to eat? That's what this record sounds like. Just don't eat it. It's made of plastic.”
The album is tentatively slated for a September/October release and Fiction Plane is looking to tour through the fall.
In related news, a new festival date has emerged for the band. On August 22, Fiction Plane will be performing at the Maré de Agosto Festival on Santa Maria Island in Azures, Portugal. More information about the festival can be found at www.maredeagosto.com.
The current summer festival lineup for the band includes:
