Spector announce brand new album, Here Come the Early Nights

Here Come the Early Nights sees Spector embracing new musical turns that call to mind ABBA, Blur, Sam Fender, Blossoms and Nick Cave to name but a few, as they soundtrack the inevitable maturity from 20-something dreamer to 30-something dreamer. The album was produced by previous Spector collaborator Dimitri Tikovoi and mixed by Catherine Marks.

“We’ve been keen to work with Dimitri Tikovoi again since we made the Ex-Directory EP which kind of single handedly resuscitated our career. We started working on a few ideas with him, including the song that ended up becoming "Driving Home for Halloween" and then discussed making a whole album together but it soon transpired he only had thirteen days spare," says Fred Macpherson.

"With our previous albums having taken anything from a month to over a year to record, that time span felt like an exciting challenge. Jen and Nic recorded all their rhythm parts in two days at the amazing Narcissus in Willesden Green, then we reverted to Dimitri’s studio in Kensal Rise, where Jed and I would take it in turns recording with Dimitri while the other finished ideas against the clock in the room next store."

We're over the moon to announce our new studio album 'Here Come the Early Nights' is out on Friday November 24th. It’s available to preorder now at https://t.co/L3Q0Usg3lM pic.twitter.com/CWmyJAXBqR
