Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Talk The Talk On The New Album, Reveal Track List

January 7, 2007

By: Spacelab Research Staff
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have released the track list for the as of yet untitled album, to be released in March on RCA. The word on the new album is that it will combine the guitar-driven sounds of Take Them On Your Own with the country-twinged Howl.

“We’re doing the final mixes and putting the icing on the cake. It’s the first album where we went into the studio knowing exactly what we wanted and we’ve been able to record when we feel it, instead of when we’re supposed to feel it, which is a nice luxury,” said Rob Turner when speaking to NME.

After the departure of drummer Nick Jago, the band set out to record Howl. Although Nick ended up rejoining the band before the end of those sessions, the two songs that he was fully involved in stayed off of Howl, and will be part of the new album.

Peter Hayes told Billboard “When he came in for the last record, there were two songs we did with him that we left off. We knew they’d be for this one. We used those two songs as a starting point for what this album was going to sound like, and we stuck to it, for the most part.”
