Scottish jangling rockers Close Lobsters are a sort of pop-up band. Founded in 1986 they released two well-received albums , before going on hiatus in 1989. They resurfaced for one-off shows in 2012 and 2014, followed by two singles and an EP in 2015. Then things went quiet again. Until now that is.
It turns out that they have been working in fits and starts on a new record since 2014 and the long-awaited third full-length Post Neo Anti: Arte Povera in the Forest of Symbols will be released by Last Night From Glasgow (UK) and Shelflife Records (USA) on February 28.
The lead single All Compasses Go Wild has an Eighties New Wave feel, thanks to producerJohn River, the same guy who held oversaw the recording of their first album Foxheads Stalk This Land.
