The Wave Pictures have revealed today they will return with a new album, 'Beer In the Breakers', on April 18th to be released through Moshi Moshi Records.
The album has been produced by their friend Darren Hayman formerly of indie stalwarts Hefner and was recorded at Hayman’s house in Walthamstow "as live" in just one day.
Singer David Tattersal said of the recording:
“We’d been enjoying playing together live more than ever on recent tours and simply wanted to record the band the way it sounds these days. When you do things live, you obviously sacrifice perfection in the hope that instead you will capture these kind of strange and glorious spontaneous moments that musicians create together, that no one could do on their own, and that you can only get with live performance. It was probably the happiest record experience we have ever had.”
