40 WATT SUN have confirmed that writing is complete, and that this month they have begun the recording of their new album - the follow-up to 2011's "The Inside Room". Recording will take place in Wales throughout the spring and summer, and will be once again self-produced by the band. 40 WATT SUN have played a handful of intimate shows over the past six months, showcasing tracks that will appear on the new album, as well as playing older favourites.
Vocalist and guitarist, Patrick Walker, commented:
"The tracks for this album have been written over the course of the past twelve months. Though a natural progression from the last record, this time the music is more texturally varied and I've tried to allow an even greater spontaneity to the songwriting."
40 WATT SUN live dates:
April
10 - Roadburn Festival, Het Patronaat - Tilburg, NL
11 - Doom Over Leipzig - Leipzig, DE
12 - Decadence Club - Ghent, BE
