Description
Blazing out of the blocks with two and half minutes of pure power pop,* Ash made their traditional *‘Ash Wednesday’ return with *‘Cocoon’,* the first single from their forthcoming studio album *‘Kablammo!’on the earMUSIC label. *“It’s Ash at their frenetic best” says drummer Rick McMurray. *“A wall of guitars and a shot of adrenaline with a sweet melodic chaser.” A clear statement of intent,* *‘Cocoon’ picked up immediate radio support from BBC 6 Music and XFM and served as a bold introduction to their forthcoming album. It’s been eight years since *‘Twilight Of The Innocents’,* the album Ash vowed would be their last. The ensuing years saw the band embark on the ambitious A-Z singles series and its accompanying A-Z tour taking them from Aldershot to Zennor. The decision to put the album format to one side allowed Ash to explore a different dynamic to their sound across 26 tracks released over a year. *“A-Z was a great exercise in creativity and we stand by our choice to do it but we still love the album format. Stepping away from it for eight years has given us a new found love for the format and it's been really exciting to get back to thinking about music in that way again”. On *‘Kablammo!’,* they set out to capture the live essence of Ash,* the closest sonic predecessor being 2004's *'Meltdown',* they say,* with the songwriting of the *'Free All Angels' singles. *“We've stripped away the electronic overtones of the A-Z series and made a streamlined blazing guitar record.” *“On every song you can hear what makes this band tick,* our beating *(atomic) heart. It's a visceral expression of what has driven us since 1992. Passion,* melody and Ash.” The title itself *– *‘Kablammo!’ *- sums up the excitement Ash felt *“to be in a room together making new music. You can hear that on every song
