Manic Street Preachers have revealed they’ve been working on their eleventh full-length in the same studio that David Bowie recorded his classic album Heroes.
The Welsh band were housed in Berlin during January recording their follow-up to 2010′s Postcards from a Young Man.
They’ve also revealed they are working with Alex Silva, one of the engineers on their most beloved record The Holy Bible.
Speaking to Lauren Laverne on BBC 6 Music a few weeks back, frontman James Dean Bradfield said that the LP would feature a “kraut-rock”-leaning sound as well as “electronic ideas”.
