Die! Die! Die! "Promises" Promises" 2008

...And by 2005 – just two years later – Andrew Wilson, Michael Prain and Henry Oliver found themselves ensconced in a Chicago studio with the legendary Steve Albini, recording their self-titled debut album. Their hard-edged art-punk wowed alt-rock crowds on the international circuit, and a second album, Promises, Promises, was recorded in New York with Shayne Carter at the controls, and when released, elicited rave reviews from publications like the NME and The Guardian in 2007...
...Album number three, Form, was produced at home by former Skeptics man Nick Roughan, but despite rave reviews and a No.1 placing on the NZ alternative charts, there was trouble on the horizon.
Another album, Harmony, was recorded in France in 2010 and produced by Chris Townend of Portishead and Silverchair fame, but its release was delayed when the group – tired of six years of touring and being in each others’ company – considered calling it a day. “The band was sick of each other and ended,” Andrew told AudioCulture. “I finished Harmony on my own and there was no DDD for nine months. I didn’t know if I could be bothered releasing an album with no band. Then [new manager] Manu Taylor put the pieces back together.”...to be continued... - audioculture
