The Cribs To Begin Work On Fifth Album This Summer

February 27, 2011
The Cribs To Begin Work On Fifth Album This SummerThe Cribs have announced that work will begin on their fifth album this summer.

The group said they planned to head into the studio following their upcoming festival appearances, which include RockNess in Scotland in June.

“Despite being on a break, The Cribs are not superhuman & still have to eat, therefore they will be playing a handful of Summer Festival shows,” the band said.

Last summer, bassist Gary Jarman told Gigwise the band were having an “identity crisis” over how to follow-up 2009’s ‘Ignore The Ignorant’.

“With the Cribs, when we first started out it was just about doing what you want, and one part of me really just wants The Cribs to record a record in the basement – that's what we used to do,” he said.

“And then the other side of me wants to go to America and spend a couple of months in the studio making a big record. It's weird, I'm torn at the minute.”

‘Ignore The Ignorant’ was the band’s first album to feature former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr.
