Green Lung Finish Recording New Album
London’s Green Lung have finished recording what will be their fourth album. I don’t know if that means the mix is done or hasn’t started yet and the nine days they spent at Rockfield Studios in Wales was just for tracking, but it means at least that, and if you’ve ever made a record or maybe if you haven’t you know that recording the songs is, well, a big part of the process. Not necessarily all of it, but still.
If they have mixing, mastering, making the inevitable video or two and an at-least three-month promo period ahead of them — not to mention beginning to ramp up tour preparations, because Green Lung are about to enter a whole new cycle — they could probably have the record out by June, but Green Lung have a thing for October releases, so when they say they can’t wait for people to hear the album “later this year,” they might mean October.
Fun to speculate either way, and one looks forward to hearing how Green Lung follow the upped production scope of their Nuclear Blast debut, 2023’s This Heathen Land (review here) — which brought them to the US for their first tour, including the much-missed Desertfest NYC 2024 (review here). They’ve always been a songwriting-based band, but the grandiosity laid on top of that has grown ever broader-reaching. They’re not shy in pushing over-the-top, I guess is what I’m saying. It should be a fun one.
From social media over the weekend:
Another one in the bag! What a privilege to spend the last nine days recording Album IV at Rockfield Studios with producer Tom Dalgety and engineer Tim Lewis. So many of the bands that inspire us have haunted these hallowed halls, from Sabbath to Priest, Queen to Rush, Hawkwind, Budgie, Van Der Graaf Generator… the list goes on. Hopefully we haven’t tarnished the legacy. We can’t wait for you all to hear it later this year 💚 (📸: Andy Ford)
