After four decades since the band’s conception, The Membranes are not strangers to what it takes to make an album, nor a soundtrack of the time for that matter, and with their newest release they really show this is off in an epic 16-track double feature that takes on a new war-cry: the environment. ⠀ With a background in rebellion, its no surprise that these musical anarchists would tackle concerns with the Earth’s conditions and how we look after our home given the current climate – quite literally. To do so, the foursome look at the natural yin and yangs of our immediate surroundings and find inspiration from such dualities as life and death, technology and nature, light and dark. Utilising more operatic overtones and a twenty-piece choir, the band take on this topic with unashamed grandeur. They also incorporate some unusual celeb guests such as Chris Packham – who’s quite the punk apparently – folk singer Shirley Collins, Kirk Brandon from the Theatre of Hate and punk icon (and best friend of frontman John Robb) Jordan. ⠀ ⠀ check out the full review on our blog ⠀ @themembranes @johnrobb77⠀」5月16日 21時00分
