THE STRANGLERS launch ‘R̶a̶t̶ Track Chat’ a new behind-the-scenes video series

The Stranglers have released their first ‘R̶a̶t̶ Track Chat’, where we get a sneaky listen and behind-the-scenes insight from JJ, Baz and producer Louie Nicastro on tracks from the new album Dark Matters, starting with ‘Payday’.

Each video gives an inside look into the studio where the album came together, as well as the details behind its’ creation. Definitely, something fans will not want to miss.

Watch ‘Payday’ (R̶a̶t̶ Track Chat) – BELOW:

Dark Matters is out on 10^th September 2021 on the band’s own Coursegood imprint, via Absolute, and is available to pre-order from all good record stores.

In addition, all pre-orders for the album (on any format) will receive a special bonus CD titled ‘Dave Greenfield – A Tribute’ through the official store. This bonus CD, featuring 8 unreleased live recordings, was selected by the surviving members with a view to celebrating Dave’s unique talent.
