The Shaking Sensations announce new album ‘How Are We To Fight The Blight?’

THE SHAKING SENSATIONS have announced a new album!

Titled How Are We To Fight The Blight?, the upcoming album from the Copenhagen-based instrumentalists follows 2013’s Start Stop Worrying and is scheduled to be released in October this year.

The arrival of the new album marks the end of the band’s hiatus. It wasn’t that we felt like we’d broke up or that we parted after disagreements, but more like the circle was fulfilled, that we didn’t have more to contribute with. The three previous releases were kind of worriless, innocent and circled around themes such as life, death, being young, growing up, accepting things as they evolve and unfold. Quite simple and maybe, a bit nostalgic and probably naive, comments Jeppe Nygaard Christensen from the band.

The tracking of the album took place in Copenhagen at two different studios. Main tracks were recorded ‘live’ in a room that could accommodate two fully mic’ed drumkits and their individual characteristics, reverb and sound – in the same room, at the same time. Anders Haaning, an up and coming Copenhagen-based producer with a background in indie-pop/garage-rock, has co-produced the album, which was then mixed and mastered by Magnus Lindberg of CULT OF LUNA.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have shared the first taster from the upcoming record; titled Tremendous Efforts.

How Are We To Fight The Blight? is set for release on October 4th via Pelagic Records.
