Blood Red Shoes Announce New Album and Tour
In Time To Voices is released March 26....
The Brighton-based duo Laura-Mary Carter and Steven Ansell are returning in 2012 with their third album In Time To Voices.
It was recorded at The Motor Museum in Liverpool, continuing their successful partnership with Mike Crossey (Arctic Monkeys/Foals/Tribes) who co-produced the album with them.
Laura-Mary, reckons they've taken a more ambitious approach this time around.
"With this album we totally threw out the rulebook of how we write and record. We decided we wanted to make a really ambitious record, not something which reflects our live show but something which is only limited by our imaginations and not by how many instruments we use onstage. We figured the best way to push ourselves forward was to write the best possible songs and melodies we could - once you have that as your foundation, you have the freedom to go anywhere with the sounds you use. We feel like a totally different band now. We feel like we're shooting for the stars."
The tracklisting is:
In Time To Voices
