!!! announce ninth album with Maria Uzor collaboration "Storm Around The World"
!!! have shared news of their upcoming ninth album Let It Be Blue, and have teamed up with Sink Ya Teeth's Maria Uzor on the lead outing "Storm Around The World".
"Storm Around The World" is !!!'s first new material since releasing "All I Wanted Was A Photograph" in January, and arrives with news of the band's ninth album Let It Be Blue, which will follow 2019's Wallop.
The band says of the new outinng, ""Storm Around the World" is a song we’ve had since the last album that didn’t really come into focus until Maria Uzor from Sink Ya Teeth added her part and we turned it into a duet. Originally an acid workout about parents who leave on tour it became much more than that with her vocal, which is equal parts sing-song and spoken word and who’s lyrics helped add both a familiarity and a mystery to the song. On this record we were looking for basic minimal arrangements-- sub-bass, drums and vocals mostly-- and that approach is what finally let us support the vocal parts in a way that worked. The final piece was the beat that our producer Patrick Ford made that felt somewhere between programmed, sampled and played, a blurriness that is another feature of this album, Let It Be Blue, which was mostly built on computers but doesn’t always sound or feel that way."
