New still sealed 180G 12" vinyl LP. Includes CD copy.
Resistance Is Futile', the band's 13th studio album, heralds a return to
a classic Manics sound described by the band as "widescreen
melancholia". The songs on the album are the first recorded in the
band’s new Door to the River studio (near Newport). Of their first new
recordings in four years, the band said: "The main themes of ‘Resistance
is Futile’ are memory and loss; forgotten history; confused reality and
art as a hiding place and inspiration. It’s obsessively melodic - in
many ways referencing both the naive energy of ‘Generation Terrorists’
and the orchestral sweep of ‘Everything Must Go’. After delay and
difficulties getting started, the record has come together really
quickly over the last few months through a surge of creativity and some
old school hard work."
