Keeping Some Dark Secrets

Another new Johnny Foreigner track has surfaced over at YouTube. The phenomenal noise pop trio recently performed the track “This Trapeze Ball Thought Out” for London-based music publication The Fly in its courtyard somewheres. The sound quality isn’t great, so what little we can tell is the track seems a bit forumulaic, with Kelly starting off the vocal and Alexei joining in after a bit while teasing harmonics out of an acoustic guitar. Kelly later drops a somewhat funky bass lick in the mix, but for the most part the recording doesn’t show off the tune well. That said, it is notable that new material continues to slowly seep out from the band as it prepares to enter the studio next year to record the follow-up to this year’s fireball full-length Waited Up Til It Was Light. Readers will recall we found last month a different new tune, “Ghost The Festivals,” buried in the middle of this live setperformed for Channel M based out of Manchester, England. And we think we sent this awesome YouTube clipfor a new song whose title we do not yet know out on our Twitter feed a week or so ago. Perhaps our new motto should be “we watch all the Johnny Foreigner YouTubes so you don’t have to.” Anyhoo, Mr. Berrow said hereearlier this month that the act will begin recording new material in February, and the band is expected to spend a significant amount of time touring the U.S. early next year as well.
