Ahead of its release on October 27th...A chance can do you good.
*Livingston* originated in London, but - due to various pressures in the capital - decided to move to Germany.
Now based in the creative hub that is Berlin, the band have been able to push ahead with their artistic vision.
Debut album 'Sign Language' went Top 20 in their adopted territory of Germany, while hit single 'Broken' earned the group huge acclaim.
Free to explore new possibilities, forthcoming album 'Animal' was constructed in the woods outside Berlin. Lead singer Beukes Willemse explains:
"For the first time in our careers there was never actually a thought process in making the record. No game-plan as such. The only thing it had to be was come naturally and easily from each of the four of us with no outside compromise. So, we found a house in the woods an hour outside Berlin miles from the closest neighbour, and went there for 10 days of every month of last year without playing a single note to anyone. The only thing it had to be was not influenced by anyone outside the four of us."
The results include some of the most courageous music the band have released to date. Brisk, strident songwriting with plenty of their live flair, you can listen to 'Animal' first on Clash.
