CHRIS ROBINSON BROTHERHOOD ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM

Chris Robinson Brotherhood are to release a new album on June 14.

It’s titled ‘Servants Of The Sun’ and is to be issued by Silver Arrow Records.

“I let my head go to a Saturday night at the Fillmore, and said, ‘what’s the best set we could play,’” says frontman Chris Robinson. “The record was conceived from that starting point. With our last couple of albums we made songs we knew we probably weren’t going to play live. This time around every one of these songs will fall into the live repertoire.

“The best thing about the CRB after all this time is that no matter what we’re going through, when there’s a new piece of music that everyone is interested in, the entire band gets in there and goes for it.

“I like to write ‘scenes.’ I want you to be able to storyboard these lyrics into a visual, even the abstract part of them. We’re creating a world and we want people to come in, we’re doing it through language and this texture of music and melody. Sometimes it’s a celebration, sometimes its mourning. It can be anything once you get inside.”
