SECOND TRACK FROM FORTHCOMING ALBUM ‘WE ARE LOVE’ OUT 31ST OCTOBER VIA BMG.

A swirling, Hammond organ-driven belter with fat bass and fuzzy guitars, ‘Deeper And Deeper’ channels the band’s trademark psychedelic grooves while charting bold new territory. It’s further proof that band’ commitment to moving forward, even in their fourth decade together, remains as strong as ever. Tim Burgess says: “It kicks in with a sense of immediacy – it’s Altered States meets Pincher Martin – the Hammond organ leads the way and hands you over to the irresistible and relentless bassline- a sense of giving in to what surrounds you. Sometimes it’s where you should be going. But you only get the answer once you can’t turn back”. An eight year gap between albums is the longest ever for one of the UK’s most enduring bands, but right place, right time, right vibe and the stars eventually aligned. The Charlatans – Tim Burgess (vocals) Martin Blunt (bass), Mark Collins (guitar), Tony Rogers (keyboards), along with Pete Salisbury (drums) – carefully selected a production A-team of duo Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange and Lightspeed Champion) and Fred Macpherson (Spector, Rachel Chinouriri, Jessica Winter, Taahliah), plus legendary producer Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur, The Cranberries), alongside a list of engineers, mixers and collaborators that reads like a who’s who of alt rock greatness. The result has been well worth the wait. Tim Burgess explains: “The whole idea of hauntology and psychogeography is represented by us going back to Rockfield, where so much history has happened for The Charlatans. That was important as a way of honouring every member who’s played in the band. So we’re honouring ourselves, our past, feeling that energy and reincarnating it, doing something fresh, brand new”.
