Idlewild Get Busy with New Album, Tour, and Side Projects

/media/news/19374/0.jpg

Scottish band Idlewild have announced the release of their follow-up album to 2005's Warnings/Promises. The LP will be called Make Another World. The band will be coming back with their extremely underrated and literary-brand of rock that first garnered them major attention in 2000 with the release of their second full-length album, 100 Broken Windows. The album was recorded over the summer with Windows' producer Dave Eringa, who has also worked on records by Manic Street Preachers and Kylie Minogue. The album will be preceded by a single, "If It Takes You Home" (available for streaming on their Myspace page now), on December 4th via a limited edition seven inch vinyl or as a free download when you sign the mailing list on the band's official site. This will be followed by an additional single ("No Emotion") in late January, with the album not far behind in February. This comes hot on the heels of singer Roddy Woomble's solo LP, My Secret Is My Silence, which was released this past summer. Guitarist Rod Jones also has a side project with Los Angeles singer-songwriter Inara George called George Is Jones, who will be releasing an album sometime this winter.

Idlewild recently signed to Sanctuary Music's Sequel imprint in the U.S. along with The Cooper Temple Clause. Both bands were signed in an effort to restructure and relaunch Sanctuary after it nearly went under this past year.
