King recently talked to Pitchfork about recording the album, which was created in Vancouver at The Hive with engineer
Jesse Gander, who they had previously worked with on 'Post-Nothing':
"On a lot of this new record, we actually tried to simulate the sound of what we thought the crowd would do during the songs," says King. "Dave and I were in the studio just screaming out as if we were in the audience at our own show."
'Celebration Rock', featuring eight new tracks, will be available on CD/LP/Digital. There is also a limited edition of 1,000 on 180-gram red vinyl available for pre-order here.
