LA Priest has announced a new album, Into the Sky, which was co-written and co-produced by Boys Noize. It’s set for release on August 28 via Domino. Leading the LP is the gently pulsating single ‘Ever No’, which finds Sam Eastgate singing, “Good God, I love you more than you could ever know.” Check out director Joe Bird’s video for it below.
“I’m not sure which way I’m going, but it’s exciting – that’s the spirit of this album,” Eastgate said of the new album, adding, “For a long time, I wanted to make stuff for your mind. This one is more for the mind and the body. I made this record to dance to. I haven’t really done one that you could put on and dance all the way through before.”
Eastgate and Boys Noize – aka Alex Ridha – have known each other since his Late of the Pier days in the late 2000s, when they were basically teenagers. “The reason I thought of Alex,” Estgate said, “is because he’s doing such an innovative job in electronic music and I’m revisiting a style I haven’t done for a long time.”
He elaborated: “I’ve always liked the homemade feel of very early techno, that’s why all the songs have the same drum machine and the same synth. How much ground can you cover with just a few sounds? How many different kinds of emotions can you show with one or two machines? That’s what I find exciting.”
