Engineers, one of our favourite new purveyors of shoegaze, have announced the release of their third album.
It’ll be called In Praise of More and will be released on 4th October via Kscope.
There’s been a line-up change as well. Dan McBean and Andrew Sweeney have left (“No arguments or disagreements prompted anyone to leave, but when we got back together to play after Three Fact Fader was released it was clear we had all moved on personally and professionally”) and joining Mark and singer Simon Phipps are new drummer Matthew Linley, bassist Daniel Land and – most significantly – keyboardist (and German-born electronica genius) Ulrich Schnauss.
Yes, you heard that right – Ulrich Schnauss.
“Ulrich and I first met a few years ago when we were both DJing at the same night,” recalls Mark. “He was always an avid supporter of the band and so it seemed only natural to ask him to play keyboards with us. When a line-up change comes together naturally it can inject a new lease of life into a band; there’s a real feeling of excitement and hunger.”
