A new album from The Chemical Brothers will arrive next year. The album is tied into a new live show from the veteran act, with Sónar today revealing that they'll be hosting The Chemical Brothers at next year's festival in Barcelona. Speaking to Sónar, founding member Tom Rowlands said: "The most important feature of the album is that it connects with us emotionally in some way. We hope for finding a new way to make you feel. We dream of new sounds and different frames. We have worked with some guest singers but mostly the album is pure Chemical Brothers."

The yet-to-be-titled album is the first studio LP from The Chemical Brothers since 2010's Further, though they've worked on a couple of film-related projects in the past couple of years, scoring the 2011 movie Hanna and working with director Adam Smith on their own concert film, Don't Think. Smith is also involved with the act's new live show.

"guest singers", yeah that'll do the trick.
enough with the hippie electro,bros. go back to writing some inventive heavy dope tunes. remember this one?

a new Prodigy
a new Chems
a new Justice

2015 is shaping up to be a good year

There will be a great year, but I`ve lost trust in Chems, expectation about their new album is zero. where are the big beats?

In the '90s, where you also still seem to be. There's more to electronic music than just the big beats. I agree I miss that stuff, but chems are so much more than just big beats. The journey tracks from Surrender up to Further are also very interesting. I think they'll surely bring fresh stuff to the table.

At least some tunes might be interesting

After terrible 'This Is Not A Game' track I'm afraid...

And after salmon dance tune :D

hey, i fucking LOVE The Salmon Dance...
i don't care about anyone's negative opinion about that track
it's just a pure FUN track and i give the Chems credit for going with it!

one of my FAVORITE from 'em...
yea, i said it!


but This Is Not A Game was just pure shite no matter how you slice it

Horse Power was quite good

The sunshine underground.

Oh and race the tide ofcourse

i thought Further was great...
except for Escape Velocity...
well maybe more of its placement on the album. it shouldn't of been the 2nd track, maybe more like 3/4 of the way in. i feel it ruins the build up Snow has. should went right into Another World and have Escape Velocity later. plus Don't Think should have been on the album or replaced Escape Velocity with it.
but i felt Further was the closest to the old Chems sound like Surrender.
i even enjoyed We Are The Night, but still quite off from the original Chems sound.
i hate Push The Button, my least favorite.
nothing beats their first three albums though.

i really don't get the point. whats wrong with taking something from the 90's and making it relevant again? is "new" always "better"? listen to the new crystal method album. it's bad beyond belief. todays "music" simply has stopped progressing. the same 4/4 beat over and over again, the same breakdown, same drop, the same farting bassline. so if anyone wanna bring back the low end big beats, make em work in a new and refreshing kind of way - i'm all up for it.

Also Neil Barnes is finishing new Leftfield album... the first after 16 years!
