De Staat Follow Monday's New Album Release With April UK Tour & Tickets

The Netherlands’ hottest alternative rock band, De Staat, will release of their hotly-tipped second album 'Machinery' on March 7th, followed by a UK tour starting Wednesday April 6th at the London Camden Barfly.
'Machinery' will be released by Cool Green Recordings via Mascot Records, and has been described as a "gut-inducing slab of psycho funk." The album is a dark sonic adventure that takes the listener through underground caves of blues, funk and electro where halal butchers, serial killers, whistleblowers, rats and sweat-covered bodybuilders cross paths.
'Machinery' is the follow-up to De Staat's 2009 debut 'Wait For Evolution', speaking about the forthcoming release lead singer Torre Florim said. “I often hear we sound like a machine when we play live, I thought it would be fun to expand on that on this record and emphasize the mechanical elements in the music.”
Continues Florim, “We played a lot of rhythms, and also created crazy sounds with the guitars. I didn’t want to exclusively focus on the rhythmic parts, but instead wanted to change the way we approached the tools of a conventional rock band setup. During the process of writing and creating the music, the album developed an industrial flavor that reminded us of a machine.”
Initial pressing of De Staat's 'Machinery' CD is available in limited edition format with a stunning 64-page booklet.
De Staat’s full UK tour dates: include
London Camden Barfly (April 6)
Manchester Deaf Institute (April 7)
Nottingham The Bodega (April 8)
Bristol The Louisiana (April 9)
