THE ALBUM:

“..stunning..”- The Times

“Mesmerising, pulsating and downright dirty rhythms. Just great!” - MOJO ****

“A joyous return to form” - Q***

Barking is the title of Underworld’s first album in three years, and their first to be constructed with a brilliant cast of co-conspirators. All the tracks were written by the band in their Essex studio before being given to handpicked studio heads from across the whole spectrum of dance music to add some of their style and creativity to the band’s raw material. The result is a pimped-up Underworld record and their finest collection of songs in over a decade.

From the first undulating pulses of submariner bass, the first vocals – soft like a whisper in the ear – and the first fizz of hi-hats that force along the pace, the sound is unmistakably Underworld. Electronics wrapped effortlessly around songs; streams of consciousness lyrics that form indelible images; a perfectly balanced mix of melody and rhythm. Underworld’s sixth studio album is a thundering return to form.

Quick recap:

‘Always loved a film’ the single is out now. view the fantastic VIDEO HERE .

‘Barking’ the album will be out tomorrow and also includes various formats:

‘November 27th’- put it in your diary- they play The RDS in Dublin on this very date.
