Australian folk sensation The Waifs have revealed details about their sixth album.
The album was recorded in the US, where the three core members of the band have all ended up living.
They spent ten days recordingin a Minneapolis basement studio.
Singer and guitarist Vikki Thorn said in a press release, “Traditionally recording has been stressful for us, we have three writers and rarely a collective vision. Maybe we have grown up a bit, learned a little patience and respect. This time the recording experience felt very relaxed and everything flowed.”
She continues, “This album is less disparate than some of our previous albums. As if by moving, literally, so far from each other, our music has come back together. We have found our sound, our voices, our rhythms again and rediscovered our love for playing it.”
The album will be called Temptation and will be released on John Butler’s Jarrah Records in March 2011.
The band will complement the release with a national tour in February and March next year.
