Description

Black Country, New Roadreturn on Ninja Tune with their second album,Ants From Up There. Following on almost exactly a year to the day from the release of their acclaimed debutFor the First Time, the band have harnessed the momentum from that record and run full pelt into their second, withAnts From Up Theremanaging to strike a skillful balance between feeling like a bold stylistic overhaul of what came before, as well as a natural progression.

WithFor the First Timethe band melded klezmer, post-rock, indie and an often intense spoken word delivery. OnAnts From Up Therethey have expanded on this unique concoction to create a singular sonic middle ground that traverses classical minimalism, indie-folk, pop, alt rock and a distinct tone that is already unique to the band. Recorded at Chale Abbey Studios, Isle Of Wight, across the summer with the band’s long-term live engineerSergio Maschetzko, it’s also an album that comes loaded with a deep-rooted conviction in the end result.
