The Rakes
The Rakes release a new single ‘That’s The Reason’ on the 1st June 2009 through V2. ‘That’s The Reason’ is taken from the bands third album ‘Klang’ and will be released as a digital download only.
Both single and album were recorded at Planet Roc Studios in Berlin and produced by Chris Zane (Les Savy Fav, The Walkmen, Passion Pit). Klang is the bands most critically acclaimed album to date receiving rave reviews across the board.
The Rakes have also announced a UK tour for October. Dates are as follows:
Mon 26th Leeds Cockpit
Tue 27th Bristol Thekla
Wed 28th Birmingham Academy 2
Thu 29th London Forum
On working with producer Chris Zane, Alan Donohoe adds: "The album is raw, playful, exciting, complex and schizophrenic - much like the personality of Berlin itself. It couldn't be more of a fitting place to record it.”
KLANG is the follow-up to the highly acclaimed albums Capture/Release (2005) and Ten New Messages (2007).
