'Simply a phenomenal rock record'
- Q
As we previously advised, we have been making music - to be more specific, we have been in Rockfield studio in Wales with Mr Steve Albini recording a new album, Journal For Plague Lovers.
All 13 songs on the new record feature lyrics left to us by Richey. The brilliance and intelligence of the lyrics dictated that we had to finally use them. The use of language is stunning and topics include The Grande Odalisque by Ingres, Marlon Brando, Giant Haystacks, celebrity, consumerism and dysmorphia, all reiterating the genius and intellect of Richard James Edwards.

"A brave compelling record stands shoulder to shoulder with The Manics best"

Freed from the memory, escaped from their history - with a poignant send-off to the past, the Manics re-establish themselves as one of the most important bands of our generation.
