Anathema Announce New Album 'The Optimist'

Friday, 24 March 2017 Written by Jon Stickler

Anathema will return with 'The Optimist' on June 9 through Kscope.

The British proggers, led by brothers Daniel and Vincent Cavanagh, began recording the album at the end of last year in Donegal and Glasgow with producer Tony Doogan. Talking about Doogan’s influence on the process, Vincent said:

"He suggested that we record as a live band, which we hadn’t done for years. Having played a few tunes on the last tour, we were ready for that. Tony wanted to capture that energy you can only get with everyone facing each other… it makes a big difference. He was a superb guy to work with and I learned a lot making this record."
