Duran Duran
Duran Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes is extremely excited about the band's as-yet untitled new album, which they're recording at a London, England studio.
The new LP is the follow-up to 2004's Astronaut and is the group's first since parting ways with guitarist Andy Taylor. They're working with producer Nate Hills and engineer Jimmy Douglas on the record.
"Our metamorphosis throughout 2006 developed in unexpected ways, maybe Kafka could have concocted an explanation, but the fiction became friction and our reality changed," Rhodes said in a recent post about Taylor's departure and the new album on the band's website. "Our sound exploded with pop culture's brightest flowers, we unlocked some doors that had been closed for far too long, and released a startling energy which manifested itself in the songs.
"This is for us, this is for you, for me it is without question the most exciting, vibrant, over amped Duran Duran release for many new moons, so let's see where the space ship takes us."
Meanwhile, Taylor, who left the group in late October, is working on his own songs at his Ibiza recording studio. "I am really enjoying music again, and I hope that is evident in my work," Taylor wrote on his MySpace page.
"Regarding the release of new material, I really don't have a policy yet!!! I am very happy to share everything I am doing currently with you, it's important to hear your response, and as we complete tracks we will make them available to add."
Four tracks are currently posted on the site: "End Of The World," "Enemies," "Warning Signs" and "Come Back."
Taylor released two solo albums following his first departure from Duran Duran: Thunder in 1987 and Dangerous in 1990. He was also a member of The Power Station, which featured Duran Duran member John Taylor and the late Robert Palmer.
