New 13&God album in 2011?
According to a post by Dax Pierson in the 13&God facebook group I know ’13&God’ has nothing to do with religion, the supergroup consisting of members of the Notwist and Themselves, returned to the studio in January. Thus, when Themselves played in Glasgow yesterday, I asked Jel about the current state of the new record: Apparently there will be another brief recording session in Autumn, and they hope to have the album mixed down by February. That’s definitely something to look forward to.
One of the prospective tracks featured on the new record is “Sure as Dept.”, written during their 2007 tour:
