Mar 22, 2019 These New Puritans By Christopher Roberts

These New Puritans have released a new album, Inside the Rose, today via BMG. Now that the album is out, you can stream the whole thing below. Also below are These New Puritans’ upcoming tour dates.

Inside the Rose is the band’s first new album in six years, since 2013’s Field of Reeds. It includes “Into the Fire,” a new song the band shared back in November that was one of our Songs of the Week. When the album was announced they then shared a NSFW video for its title track, “Inside the Rose,” which was our #1 Song of the Week. Then they shared another song from the album, “Anti-Gravity,” via a lyric video (it was also one of our Songs of the Week). The next single from the album was “Where the Trees are on Fire,” which was shared via a video for the song and also made our Songs of the Week list.

Writing sessions for Inside the Rose began in Essex, England in 2015, but they were completed in Berlin, Germany after they relocated there. The album was recorded in Berlin, London, and Southend-on-Sea, England. Most of the recording was done in a former Soviet broadcasting studio in Berlin’s industrial suburbs. It was mixed in Los Angeles. Harley Weir directed the “Inside the Rose” video (which features lots of artful nudity) in collaboration with George Barnett.

Jack Barnett had this to say about the album in a press release: “I want to go beyond myself and my time. That’s the art I like. Whether it’s Francis Bacon or William Blake. You fail, inevitably, but that’s the challenge.”
