New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Post-Rock duo Right Hand Left Hand are back with a brand new album. Following on from their self-titled, Welsh
Music Prize-nominated second album, their third offering, 'Zone Rouge', tells the story of humanity's contempt for the earth beneath us, the air above us and the people around us.
Their new single 'Chacabuco' released this Friday, features former Estrons front-woman Taliesyn Kallstrom on vocals. 'Chacabuco' is a Chilean ghost town set up to house workers for a nitrate mine, but was abandoned 14 years later as synthetic nitrate became widespread and decimated the industry. Decades later, Pinochet used it as a concentration camp and surrounded it with landmines that are still there. It is in the process of being restored by its sole inhabitant.
Our fractured planet lays the groundwork for the 11 new tracks on 'Zone Rogue'. Each referring to a location on Earth where something bad has happened: An act of corruption against the planet, an act of evil against fellow humans and occasionally both.
Recorded and produced by Charlie Francis (Future of the Left, REM,
Robyn Hitchcock) at Cardiff's Musicbox Studios, Andrew Plain (drums/guitars) and Rhodri Viney (guitars/vocals/ drums) continue to build and develop their trademark sound: looped and layered guitars and driving powerful drums that are intercut with atmospheric ambience.
'Chacabuco' is available to buy and stream digitally on 27th September. The album will follow on 15th November, 2019. It will be available digitally, on CD, and on limited edition double clear vinyl.
