The Go! Team have revealed the details of their new album.
'Semicircle', the follow up to 2015's ‘The Scene Between’, will be released on January 19 through Memphis Industries, with a UK tour set to follow in February.
Speaking about the record's lead single, Semicircle Song, which features the Detroit Youth Choir, band leader Ian Parton said:
“With "Semicircle Song" I was trying to take the technicolour feel of a marching band into a more psychedelic place, reclaiming that sound from patriotic or sporty bullshit and harnessing its toughness and power. Brass which takes your head off, bouncy xylophones, offbeat handclaps and toms hopping in the gaps - I hoped it would be recognisably The Go! Team but unlike any song we’d done before.
Something more about the space between the notes. But when the notes hit, you make them count. Vocals were laid down by a bunch of teenagers in Detroit, which is a musical mecca for me. In the middle 8 I thought it would add a kinda interstellar cheekiness if they each introduced themselves, and their star sign.”
