Noisettes, who are this week celebrating their #2 singles chart entry for Don’t Upset The Rhythm, have confirmed an earlier-than-planned date for the release of their new album, and a London headline show for June.
The Noisettes
The London trio just completed a sold-out headline tour, and are planning a summer of festivals and headline shows in support of their second album, Wild Young Hearts, which is released on Vertigo on April 20th.
The album was originally scheduled for a later release, but demand for the single (it’s snapping at the heels of the #1 spot as we speak) coupled with the fortuitous fact that the record is actually finished, pressed up and ready to go, means the band has been able to bring its release date forward to April.
From the galloping funk grooves of the hit single Don’t Upset The Rhythm, to the joyous, jazzy title track, the stomping electro-rock of Saturday Night, the glorious ‘60s-tinged soul of Never Forget You and the sultry, shimmering pop of 24 Hours, in Wild Young Hearts, Noisettes have made what is set to be one of 2009’s most adventurous albums. The album was produced by Jim Abbiss (Adele, Arctic Monkeys).
Never fond of a formula, the trio always intended a radical musical detour from their acclaimed debut, What’s The Time Mr Wolf?, an album that spawned five singles and took them on tour for over a year, sharing arena stages with Muse and criss-crossing the States with TV On The Radio and Bloc Party.
If you can imagine a hybrid of Blondie, Ting Tings and Rihanna, you’ll begin to get an idea of how special this new record is. Vocalist Shingai Shoniwa, meanwhile, is fast becoming a style icon with the makings of a modern-day Deborah Harry.
