Am 09. Juni werden die Chefmelancholiker Anathema ihr elftes Album „The Optimist“ via Kscope veröffentlichen. Als ersten Vorgeschmack wurde nun der erste neue Track „Springfield“ online gestellt, den ihr unten hören könnt.
Daniel Cavanagh kommentiert: “Here we present the song 'Springfield', it’s actually the song that closed our unforgettable Wembley gig with Opeth and it seemed to be a track that just fell into place without much effort. It seemed to do itself. The song forms part of a narrative that runs through The Optimist album, it’s a narrative that begins where A Fine Day To Exit left off. The album is a journey. The songs are ambiguous. There is no right or wrong way to take them. Make of them what you will.”

Viel Spaß mit „Springfield“:
Im September wird das neue Album zusammen mit Alcest betourt. Daniel Cavanagh dazu “It's really good to be touring with Alcest again, continuing our relationship that began in America in 2013. They are superb melodists and have a beautiful and unique voice.” (Quelle: Band)
