However, as of this week the recording is officially titled “The God of Malfunction”. This is hardly surprising as that track is one of the stand-out tracks contained on the record. No news yet on when it will be released. I’ll keep you posted.

So I’m guessing that you think it is all a bit too quiet on thecontrast.net. The band has been locked away somewhere in Leeds working hard on their follow-up album to “Underground Ghosts”. It seems things are going well.

Recording has been completed on The Contrast’s sixth studio album. A total of 15 songs have emerged, it is not yet known if all of these will make the final cut. I would say that they are going to have a hard time picking and choosing from this bunch. Now the work commences with picking a running order and designing art and so on. No release date is set yet but I will keep you posted and pass that on as soon as we know.

While they were in the studio the band took some photos of their experience. From these you can gain an insight into the really hard slog that is involved in making a new album. See the picture in this post for an example. These are posted in the Photo Gallery on this site.

The working title for the album is “Good Luck Charms & Fast Cars” and as yet no release date is scheduled,  when it is you will also hear that news here. A demo version of “Better Than They Seem”,  a track from the new album, was released on the Wicked Cool, South by Southwest sampler released in March.

The Contrast have not yet gone in to the studio to start recording their new album yet but one track will be coming our way sooner rather than later. Wicked Cool Records are living up to their name and releasing a demo version of one of the tracks from the new album. The track “Better Than They Seem” from the tentatively titled, forthcoming “Good Luck Charms and Fast Cars” will feature on a special Wicked Cool, South by Southwest (SXSW) sampler. It is a storming track featuring a much bigger sound than we have heard from The Contrast in the past. The new album is shaping up to be the best yet. I know I say that for every release, but am I ever wrong?

Unfortunately, The Contrast will not be playing at this year’s SXSW festival in Austin, Texas they will be far too busy working on the new album. However, once they are out of the studio we can expect them to start playing more shows in preparation for the promotion of their first proper release for Wicked Cool.
