Funeral For A Friend Talk Up New LP

02nd March 2008 | by Mark Thomson

Funeral For A Friend have revealed they've headed back into the studio to start work on their fourth full-length album, due out in September.

The Welsh rockers have enlisted the help of Colin Richardson to mix the LP. Richardson has also worked on each of their previous albums. Originally plotting to release just an EP this summer, the band say they've got too much good material to just proffer a single.

Drummer Ryan Richards explained: "We were gonna do an EP but we've wrote so many awesome tunes that we've started the full length album instead.

"We're doing the first half now and the second half in May to get the album out hopefully by September. We're releasing a single in May which will contain 2 songs from the album. Almost like a bit of an album 'taster'."

The new album will be produced by Romesh Dodangoda, who produced the majority of FFAF's 'The Great Wide Open' mini live album, which was released last summer.

The band will fly to South America later this month to record a video for a track called 'Waterfront Danceclub', which we probably shouldn't presume will be a part of the EP, but we just can't help ourselves.
