Following their Bob Harris Emerging Artist Award at the 2019 UK Americana Awards, Curse of Lono release new live album 4am and Counting in July.
The band has also announced a tour of the UK supporting Samantha Fish this month, which includes a show here in Milton Keynes, at The Stables.
Recorded live at Toe Rag Studios in London with Grammy-winning producer Liam Watson (The White Stripes 'Elephant'), and mixed by Oli Bayston (Boxed In), Curse Of Lono’s forthcoming album consists of 11 mellow, rootsier versions of tracks off the band’s critically acclaimed debut album ‘Severed’ and last year’s follow-up ‘As I Fell’.
The album features guest appearances from legendary pedal steel player BJ Cole (Elton John, Dolly Parton, Pink Floyd, Massive Attack), and harmonica player Nick Reynolds (Alabama 3 and son of the mastermind of the great train robbery, Bruce Reynolds).
Curse Of Lono are best known for their deeply cinematic blend of harmony-laden Americana and driving, gothic alt-rock, a unique sound that owes as much to old faithfuls like The Doors and The Velvet Underground as it does to more modern practitioners of the form such as The War On Drugs and Wilco.
‘4am And Counting' offers a more stripped-back and intimate take on some of the band’s existing material that conjures up visions of The Cowboy Junkies collaborating with the Beggars Banquet-era Rolling Stones.
Here it in the live at next Wednesday's (May 8) Wavendon show.
