Their first new album in 20 years and soon to be released "This Is PiL" contains 12 new tracks. It was recorded last year at Steve Winwood’s UK studio, and is released on PiL’s own label, PiL Official.
Widely regarded as one of the most innovative and influential bands of all time, PiL’s music and vision earned them 5 UK Top 20 Singles and 5 UK Top 20 Albums, from their inception back in 1978. Now another unique chapter is set to unfold......
John Lydon describes the album thus "Well, 12 songs, where do I begin? Everything and anything that attracts my attention. ‘One Drop’ is about my early youth in Finsbury Park. Fantastic! Hello, we’re all teenagers don’t you forget it! At any age, stay young. "Lollipop Opera"is basically a beautiful bunch of background noise and music to sum up Britain and all its wonderful ambidextrousness! "The Room I Am In" well that’s about drugs and council flats. And there’s a tragedy that still continues. ‘I Must Be Dreaming’ Well, you know, I must be to put up with these governments!"
