Mars Red Sky Announce New Album Release for April; Touring Spain and Greece


When it’s released in April, I’ll be even more interested to hear how Mars Red Sky‘s second album has turned out. The French inner-peace-through-fuzz-tone gurus were set to record the follow-up to their 2011 self-titled debut (review here) in the Californian desert to coincide with a West Coast tour following a run last fall in South America. It would seem the Dept. of Homeland Security had other ideas.

As I understand it, Mars Red Sky wound up spending a week in Rio de Janeiro (clearly a hardship, judging by the photo above) and did some work at Estúdio Superfuzz with Gabriel Zander before returning to France and presumably finishing it there. Not at all what they had planned, and though it seems to have worked out, I can’t imagine it wasn’t viciously frustrating at the time. Another heavy band falls victim to the fascist American security state.

To lead the way for the new record, the title of which has yet to be revealed, Mars Red Sky will issue a 7″ with a studio version of the track “Satellites,” which you can hear live below, coupled with an instrumental captured at Desertfest 2013 in London. I remember that. It was awesome.

They’ve also got some tour dates lined up for Spain and Greece, but here’s just a sliver of news about what’s easily one of my most anticipated records for this year:

New album for us in April and a first 7′ for march (including this song called “Satellites” in a studio version + an instrumental live track from London Desert Fest. as B Side). Thanks so much for your support !

    Saw them in Bremen last December, they were amazing! Too bad the crowd was too small, but stil :) way to go, guys, hope the new album will be on pair with the EP. I think they played one new song from it, it was quite energetic.
