"Sense & Sensibility" is the first song and video by Millencolin from the upcoming new album 'True Brew,' available April 24th through Epitaph.
From the label...
Iconic Swedish skate-punk band Millencolin has announced the release of their eighth studio album, True Brew, out April 24 on Epitaph. It is the follow-up to their 2008 release, Machine 15. Listen to the track Sense And Sensibility over at www.millencolin.com
True Brew is an album self-recorded by the band, mixed by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, produced by vocalist/bassist Nikola Sarcevic and Färm in Soundlab Studios, with all artwork, photography and music videos created by guitarist Erik Ohlsson. It’s clear the band members are just as unified as they were when they formed Millencolin, roughly 23 years, seven albums and 1,500 live shows ago. “We’re a band truly formed from respect and understanding for each other and our passion for rock music,” explains Sarcevic. “If you ask us, this is the best job in the world!”
The new material musically draws upon some of Millencolin’s earliest influences like Bad Religion through galloping drums and fast, technical riffing, the album lyrically tackles modern sociopolitical issues in ways the band never have before. Take standout track Sense & Sensibility, which Sarcevic wrote about the growing problem of nationalist and racist political parties in his native Sweden. True Brew is the kind of album that sounds both timeless and modern, a record that could only come out of four adults who have been side by side since they were teenagers, who have weathered changing politics, shifting cultures and the rise and fall of all kinds of musical trends.
Most bands never make it this far in their careers, at least not without a handful of ex-members, lawsuits and various skeletons in their respective closets. And one listen to True Brew will tell you that Millencolin are back, they’re as strong as they’ve been in a decade or more and they’ve never lost that fire.
From the band....
"We're proud and beyond happy to let you know that we will release our new album titled TRUE BREW World wide on Epitaph Records in April. The album has been recorded at home in our Soundlab Studios in Örebro and mixed by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street studios.
Without giving away too much you could say that the album is a slight return to our musical roots and a modern take on why we started Millencolin in the first place. With the album finished we can't wait for it to be released and for all of you to hear it - and with that said we will now kinda leave you hanging for the release of TRUE BREW until april. But since we are really nice guys we've decided to make the wait a little bit smoother for you all.
From us to you, check out the first track and video from the album called Sense & Sensibility."
