Death From Above 1979 announce new live album

Following on from their tremendous comeback in 2014 with their long-awaited sophomore album 'The Physical World', Death From Above 1979 have announced that a new live album will be on the way very shortly.

Recorded at Jack White's Third Man Studios, the pair are planning to release the new record tomorrow (22nd April) and have also shared 'Right On Frankenstein', which you can hear in the player below.

And apparently, the band also went bowling with Mick Jagger and Jack White later that day. Check out the statement from the press release after the track.

“We’ve always been wary of live recording experiences because they can end up so sterile and flat sounding and they hardly ever translate the feeling of the actual show. The feeling of the moment. When we were asked to record Live At Third Man Records we agreed without hesitation. If there is one person who knows about feeling the moment, it’s Jack White. He’s the patron saint of vibes. We cut two twenty minute long sets straight to acetate. No second chances. Terrifying but alive. Third Man were such phenomenal hosts and the audience went bananas with us. It was such an honour to be a part of. The whole thing was such a rush, it almost feels like a dream.

Oh yeah, Mick Jagger was there. Did we mention that we went out to dinner with Jack and Mick after and then went bowling until 3am? It’s also worth noting that Jack got the highest score followed by Sebastien. Mick and Jesse tied.”
