Party hard: Cajun Dance Party to release 2 LPs in one year
By: James Orange, Alex Lee Thomson
London sixth formers Cajun Dance Party clearly can't be too fussed about putting in those revision hours as they embark on a plan to release two albums in the space of one year. The first The Colourful Life will be out on April 28th and features the songs with which helped make their name ('The Next Untouchable', 'Amylase') and the forthcoming single - 'The Race'. The Bernard Butler produced album was recorded in London's West Heath Studios where the band are still spending much of their time putting the finishing touches on their new material.
After the spring release of The Colourful Life (and after finishing their exams) the band will spend the summer touring before capping it all off with that second album in October. Commenting on such a masochistic schedule singer Daniel Blumberg claims that the band are "very proud of our debut album. It's taken a long time but now it's done, we just want people to hear these songs as soon as possible. We will only ever release music we're fiercely proud of but we do not want it to grow stagnant to ourselves. We understand a band has to do certain things to get music to as many as people as possible, but right now we're finishing school and are well underway with the second record. The recording sessions went really well and we've got a whole batch of new songs which we want to start playing and recording too - the thought of waiting till we've finished school to get this debut out would have stalled the creative process. That's the last thing we want to do." So you see, if they mess up their geography finals then it was all for you: the fans.
That single is due for release on April 21st.
