Supergrass release their new album, ‘Diamond Hoo Ha’ out March 24th on Parlophone Records. The album was recorded at the legendary Hansa studios and produced by Nick Launay. (Arcade Fire, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nick Cave)
Diamond Hoo Ha is Supergrass’s sixth studio and album and is the band at their exuberant best. It’s an album of raucous rock ‘n roll songs that are glitzy and glam as they are punchy and gritty. It’s the sound of a band, 14 years young, building on the timeless songwriting qualities that have helped them out last all their Britpop peers bar Oasis – the latter longstanding fans, alongside other superstars like Dave Grohl and the Arctic Monkeys.
‘We wanted a record where you got all of Supergrass,’ says frontman Gaz of this decisive return to devil may – care form, ‘The joy, the intensity, the darkness, the melodies. All of those have always been important to us and still are’
Hence Diamond Hoo Ha; an energetic album bristling with hooks to hang your coat off and melodies to lose your shoes to. It’s an album about the good times and having fun.
