Stream Alabama Shakes' new record Sound & Color in full
Alabama Shakes are streaming their new record Sound & Color in full ahead of its release next week.
Writing about the album in our 7.5/10 review, Michael McAndrew commented:
"While Boys & Girlsseemed to crawl out of its creators fully formed, Sound & Color feels like it might require a longer gestation period. It is both brilliant and uneven. It defies expectations without disrupting the status quo. Speaking with The New York Timesrecently about what it felt like to deviate from the set list the band has been playing for the last four years, [Brittany] Howard had some prescient words: “It reminded me of 2009, when we were getting up onstage together for the first time, and it was scary, and you felt completely vulnerable to the crowd. It was that feeling of: I’m terrified, but I need to do it. I have to do it. ’Cause if I don’t do it, then everything’s gonna stay the same.”"
Sound & Color will hit shelves next Monday (20 April) via Rough Trade.
You can stream the album in full now, via NPR.
