Placebo “thought the band was over”
Editor Katie Watkins 29/322
Placebo have return with breathtaking new album "Never Let Me Go". With beautiful crafted tracks such as " The Prodigal, Beautiful James, Happy Birthday To The Sky, Hugz".
The band have opened up about how they “thought the band was over” after their previous “retrospective” tour.
The band member Brian Molko talked about how touring since their last album release in 2013, ‘Loud Like Love’ left them creatively spent.
The tours that followed the release of the album were to mark their 20th anniversary as a band and tour a second ‘best of’ collection.
Brian Molko said “We weren’t particularly comfortable with the prospect of doing a retrospective and retrospective tour.”
“At the time we were still under contract with Universal Records, and we had the feeling that we’d lose all support from them if we didn’t embark on this hideously materialistic and mercantile endeavour.”
The band’s co-founder Stefan Olsdal added: “That tour lasted for such a long time, and we both started to feel a slightly unhealthy and disillusioned relationship with our old material and had a crisis of confidence coming into this new album and we both felt during the last tour that the band was coming to end.
The album is there best album since "Meds" the new music Lucid, thought-provoking and masterfully crafted, Never Let Me Go is a real triumph in every sense. Not once do you feel yourself flagging, or looking to skip a song, and you can’t help but think that the long time off has given the band many benefits. The world and everyone in it has changed markedly since when Loud Like Love was released, and when Placebo first burst onto the scene, but they’ve managed to keep their core values, but mould them for this incredibly momentous juncture that humanity finds itself at environmentally, politically, socially and personally.
This album so far had tremendous commercial success with the album charting on iTunes in 23 countries
