The Pretty Reckless announce new album ‘Other Worlds’
THE PRETTY RECKLESS have announced a new album!
Titled Other Worlds, the upcoming album from the American rock band is the follow-up to last year’s Death By Rock Roll and is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Century Media Records. The upcoming album features a new collection of acoustic recordings, unexpected covers and other reimagined material.
The record collates acoustic renditions of personal favourites accompanied by some very special guests. The recording of ELVIS COSTELLO‘s (What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding served as Taylor Momsen‘s first cover originally performed for the Fearless At Home livestream in the midst of COVID. As another pandemic-era cover, Matt Cameron played guitar and sang as Taylor powered an airy and lithe reimagining of SOUNDGARDEN‘s Halfway There from King Animal. Iconic multi-instrumentalist, producer, and artist Alain Johannes handled guitar on THE PRETTY RECKLESS‘ pensive and poetic interpretation of The Keeper, originally by Chris Cornell, while DAVID BOWIE pianist Mike Garson performed a stirring piano movement for THE THIN WHITE DUKE‘s Quicksand.
“For a long time, we’ve been trying to figure out an alternative way of releasing music, including songs we love that didn’t make our records, covers, and alternate versions,” explains vocalist Taylor Momsen. “We found a way to do this coherently and consistently with Other Worlds. We’re a rock band, so there are lots of electric guitars on our records. However, we’ve gotten incredible feedback from fans about our acoustic performances, and we’d never put those out in any real format. So, this is a different take on the traditional format of a record and a stripped back version of us that our fans haven’t really heard before, but it’s still us.”
“You get to hear a different side of Taylor‘s vocals,” adds guitarist Ben Phillips. “It was a chance for us to see what she would sound like singing songs by people who have inspired us. It also gave us some perspective of where we need to go and what we need to be if we want to be that good.”
Alongside the announcement of the new collection, THE PRETTY RECKLESS have released a remixed version of Got So High.
