Fight Like Apes Announce New Album Details

Dublin electro-punk favourites Fight Like Apes this morning revealed details of their upcoming second album via State.ie.

Another tongue twisting title from the Apes, 'The Body of Christ and The Legs of Tina Turner' follows their Choice Prize nominated 2008 debut 'Fight Like Apes and the Mystery of the Golden Medallian', and is due for release on August 27th. You can check out the freakin' excellent cover art on the left.

Having recently said goodbye to drummer Adrian Mullan, and citing 'creative differences' as the reason for his departure, the band recorded the album in London with Chili Peppers producer Andy Gill.

The band also gave State the following quote about the direction they are taking with their new material.
"We wanted to make a very different record to the first one. No more bells and whistles, clicks and fancy effects, just a band playing live in a studio. The first album was, to an extent, a collection of the best songs the band had; in getting us to the stage of making a record. This time we wanted to write an album in its entirety. Working with Andy we felt the freedom to do whatever we wanted. It's a bit rougher and readier and probably a lot more honest. We think it's deadly."

The full track list is as follows:

1. Come On, Let’s Talk About Our Feelings
2. Jenny Kelly
3. Pull Off Your Arms And Lets Play In Your Blood
4. Hoo Ha Henry
5. Katmandu (Face It, You’re Caviar, I’m Hotdogs)
6. That God You Weren’t Thirsty (Lightbulb)
7. Poached Eggs
8. Captain A-Bomb
9. Waking Up With Robocop
10. Indie Monster
11. H + Z5 Together At Last
12. Ice Cream Apple Fuck
