The Waterboys have announced their brand new double album
entitled Out Of All This Blue, available September 8 via BMG Records. This is
their debut release with BMG since recently signing with the label.
Produced by Mike Scott and recorded in Dublin
and Tokyo, Out
Of All This Blue will be available on digital, double CD, and double LP
formats, plus deluxe triple CD and LP packages, which include bonus tracks. The
official tracklistings are below.
Out Of All This Blue is The Waterboys' most exploratory
recording yet, comprising 23 songs with Mike Scott's trademark sharp lyrics set
to pop music with echoes of classic R&B, country, soul and funk,
underpinned by modern hip-hop production values and rhythms. String & brass
sections were arranged and conducted by Trey Pollard of The Spacebomb
Collective.
Of the record, Mike Scott explains: "Out Of All This
Blue is 2/3 love and romance, and 1/3 stories and observations. I knew from the
beginning I wanted to make a double album, and lucky for me - and I hope the
listener - the songs just kept coming, and in pop colors."
