Ten New Ones from the Rakes

The rake, one of my favorite new bands of recent years has a new record came out March 19 in the UK, and hopefully not too long sometimes and then here in the United States. It's called Ten New Messages. and produced by Jim Abiss (Arctic Monkey's, Editors, Kasabian) and Brendan Lynch (Primal Scream). The first single, We danced Together will see the light of day the previous week. And as things go today, chances are the whole record will see the light of day before March 19.
