Those preconceptions were shattered when they released \u003cstrong\u003e‘Trouble’s Coming’\u003c\/strong\u003e last summer. Hitting a melting pot of fiery rock riffs and danceable beats, they delivered something fresh, unexpected and yet entirely in tune with what they’d forged their reputation with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The reaction was phenomenal, with highlights including \u003cstrong\u003e20 million\u003c\/strong\u003e streams, a premiere as \u003cstrong\u003eAnnie Mac’s Hottest Record\u003c\/strong\u003e and a run on \u003cstrong\u003eRadio 1’s A-list \u003c\/strong\u003eand earned alternative radio support and media attention across the globe. In short, \u003cstrong\u003eRoyal Blood \u003c\/strong\u003eare primed to be bigger than ever before. That feat is set to be realised when they release their eagerly anticipated third album \u003cstrong\u003e‘Typhoons’\u003c\/strong\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003eApril 30\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e via \u003cstrong\u003eWarner Records\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e When \u003cstrong\u003eMike Kerr\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBen Thatcher\u003c\/strong\u003e sat down to talk about making a new album, they knew what they wanted to achieve. It involved a conscious return to their roots, back when they had made music that was influenced by \u003cstrong\u003eDaft Punk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJustice\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003ePhilippe\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eZdar\u003c\/strong\u003e of \u003cstrong\u003eCassius\u003c\/strong\u003e. It also called for a similar back-to-basics approach to what had made their self-titled debut album so thrilling, visceral and original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e “\u003cem\u003eWe sort of stumbled on this sound, and it was immediately fun to play,”\u003c\/em\u003e recalls \u003cstrong\u003eKerr\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cem\u003e“That’s what sparked the creativity on the new album, the chasing of that feeling. It’s weird, though - if you think back to ‘Figure it Out’, it kind of contains the embryo of this album. We realised that we didn’t have to completely destroy what we’d created so far; we just had to shift it, change it. On paper, it’s a small reinvention. But when you hear it, it sounds so fresh.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose traits pulsate throughout the new single and title track. \u003cstrong\u003eKerr’s\u003c\/strong\u003e spiralling bass riff casts an hypnotic allure as it grows in intensity, while his vocals switch at will between a raw rock roar and a soulful falsetto. It’s underpinned by \u003cstrong\u003eThatcher’s \u003c\/strong\u003ethundering beats, his taut rhythms infused with groove-laden hi-hats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e After setting the tone with \u003cstrong\u003e‘Trouble’s Coming’\u003c\/strong\u003e, the album opens in breathless, take-no-prisoners style with the fierce metallic grooves of \u003cstrong\u003e‘Who Needs Friends’\u003c\/strong\u003e hitting an early visceral peak. \u003cstrong\u003eRoyal Blood\u003c\/strong\u003e further reference their fresh array of influences by deploying vocodered vocals on \u003cstrong\u003e‘Million \u0026amp; One’\u003c\/strong\u003e before dynamically switching between the biggest contrasts of their sound with \u003cstrong\u003e‘Limbo’\u003c\/strong\u003e. Already a fan favourite having been a regular during the duo’s \u003cstrong\u003e2019\u003c\/strong\u003e shows, \u003cstrong\u003e‘Boilermaker’\u003c\/strong\u003e lives up to its reputation and is more than matched by \u003cstrong\u003e‘Mad Visions’\u003c\/strong\u003e, which evokes a hyper-aggressive \u003cstrong\u003ePrince\u003c\/strong\u003e. It ends with a final surprise in the shape of the stark piano ballad \u003cstrong\u003e‘All We Have Is Now’\u003c\/strong\u003e, a vulnerable and revealing reminder to live in the moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e That song’s unguarded sentiments gives the album a redemptive finale. Whether directly or allusively, the album focuses on exploring the flipside of success that they’ve experienced. It comes from the realisation that success is much more complicated than it seems and that having the time to regain perspective is a precious commodity which becomes ever more elusive. The situation called for reflection and change, which \u003cstrong\u003eKerr\u003c\/strong\u003e addressed in \u003cstrong\u003eLas Vegas\u003c\/strong\u003e. He downed an espresso martini and declared it to be his last drink, and soon discovered that his new-found sobriety would have a positive impact upon his creativity and life as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThat new approach manifested itself in the duo’s decision to produce the majority of ‘Typhoons’ themselves. ‘Boilermaker’ was produced by Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, the two bands having first connected when Royal Blood supported them on a huge North American tour. Meanwhile, the multiple Grammy Award winner Paul Epworth produced ‘Who Needs Friends’ and contributed additional production to ‘Trouble’s Coming’.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Royal Blood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37879372087480,"sku":"9029508971","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/1125\/products\/2_94a3e06b-e4d1-4cf5-be3c-60281539015a.png?v=1619589106","url":"https:\/\/store.warnermusic.com.au\/ms\/products\/typhoons-cd-album","provider":"Warner Music Australasia Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
