Cajun Dance Party To Release Two Albums
Cajun Dance Party have announced their intention of releasing not one but two albums this year. And that's before they've even left school! Just how many will they release once the exam results are through?
The band have been recording with producer Bernard Butler since last April. Their debut album, ‘The Colourful Life’, will be released on April 28 2008 on XL Recordings.
Not content with putting the debut album to bed, Cajun Dance Party are already writing and recording the follow-up album which is scheduled for an October 2008 release. The band are planning a number of festival appearances once school's out for summer. And, indeed, forever.
Speaking of the two album plan, frontman Daniel Blumberg said: "We’re very proud of our debut album. It’s taken a long time but now it’s done, we just want people to hear these songs as soon as possible.
"We will only ever release music we’re fiercely proud of but we do not want it to grow stagnant to ourselves. We understand a band has to do certain things to get music to as many as people as possible, but right now we’re finishing school and are well underway with the second record.
"The recording sessions went really well and we’ve got a whole batch of new songs which we want to start playing and recording too - the thought of waiting till we’ve finished school to get this debut out would have stalled the creative process. That’s the last thing we want to do."
The tracklisting for 'The Colourful Life' is as follows:
1. Colourful Life
2. The Race
3. Time Falls
4. The Next Untouchable
5. No Joanna
6. Amylase
7. The Firework
