The pair will release new album 'Everything You've Come To Expect' on April 1, the follow-up to 2008 debut 'The Age Of The Understatement'.
'Everything You’ve Come To Expect' was recorded last summer at Rick Rubin's Shangri-La studios in Malibu, California, a studio previously owned by Bob Dylan and The Band.
The album features Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford on drums, Owen Pallett scoring the string section and Mini Mansions' Zach Dawes on bass.
Explaining the long wait between the two records, Turner said that the band intended to release a trilogy and "wanted to write the second and third parts before we released the second". Asked if fans would have to wait another eight years for the third installment, Alex added: "Well, I don’t know about that. There are lots of other things we have to factor in."
Asked why now is the right time for the band to return, Kane joked: "It seemed to all align correctly. I did have to get [Alex] in a headlock briefly, but he came around."
On what it's like to work with Kane again, Turner said: "It’s like John Lennon meets… Paul [McCartney]."
Speaking about the new music, Turner said of what to expect: "I think the last record ended up being just one thing. We talked about Scott Walker a lot and our record became perceived asa homage to that sound. This one, in my head, doesn’t wear its influences on its sleeve as much as the first one did. We were definitely listening to a bit of Isaac Hayes this time, but it was less of a big deal."
Kane continued: "At that time [of the first album], all that stuff was new to us. We were discovering it for the first time. This time, it was just songs that we were buzzing off that we were inspired by."

20 second, low quality snipets are leaked!
Good find!
User Echos Oculus has them on youtube, not sure if the same quality
I’m still figuring out how to play the previews
I agree – can’t seem to find out where to listen!
If you´re using your phone it won´t work. You have to use computer to be able to play the previews. You prob figured that out by now.
I’m using my iMac and I can’t seem to find it out. Where do I click?
You can download the previews at this website http://mp3clan.net/
Or either you can wait for few more days
The previews have been taken down from Youtube and also the site no longer has them.
MrSecretDoor on YT got some live videos of their first gig at Cambridge. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCveZGVpoHsjOBirohPN0ycw
Having heard some of these new songs, im not sure im gonna like this album. It is ehm..different to say the least. It just seems more “flat” and pale compared to “The Age Of The Understatement” One song even seems to be more funk/soul. All I can think of is weird at this moment.
yeah some of the critics gave ohk ratings
Yes, ok or very mixed ratings. Kind of like I feel what this album prob is gonna be like “you either love or hate it” Change is must if you want to evolve ofc. But this might just been taking it a bit “too far” imo. Still have to hear the new album in it´s entirety but right now im just not feeling that excited, sadly. I was looking so much foward to this. Btw, thanks for that link :)
No problem.
I understand how it feels ever since Owen Pallett was teasing about it
I never thought this collaboration will happen again
Its been 8 years and the fact they have told its a second part of the trilogy album, that makes me less excited, cause there is no continuity to it after listening to the previews
they can’t compare it with their debut album, that album is phenomenal
but I’m still waiting to listen to the whole album, cause this is something different (besides their voice,either they hit part 2 of puberty or too much smoking).
Haha, I think that it´s actually easy to forget the fact. That its been over 8 years seens the debut album. Alot has obviously happened for them personally, and musically. While im not overly crazy as I said. I still will give it a fiair chance, and hear the entire album out. Sometimes from my own experience. It can be good thing if you don´t like something instantly. Might grow on you better.
I agree :)
Looks like the pre orders are already arriving. Shouldn’t take long to leak.
Thanks for the scoop. Already? I thought those orders came at least one day before the actual release. Seems really early. Or is this only for journalists etc. and not private persons?
Yeah, I saw some people post photos of the album art on tumblr.
Seems you were right. It has leaked
pattern is absolutly amazing track! so lovely!
This is a fantastic album.
This is not what i’ve come to expect :(
