Night Network Cassette by The Cribs In Stock at Vinyl Records London. We have got the ghetto blaster on and popping in a cassette by The Cribs on 2 sides A and B.. You know where you are at with a tape, grab a new copy on old school tape. Bring your own pencil.The Cribs are back and on blistering form, brandishing their brand new eighth album, Night Network. The selfproduced 12track album was recorded at the Foo Fighters Studio 606 in Los Angeles in the springsummer of 2019. Having released their Steve Albini engineered album, 247 Rock Star Shit – their fourth consecutive UK top 10 album in August 2017 the multiple Q and NME Award winning band almost immediately parted company with their long time UK management and found themselves stuck in what Gary describes as a “legal morass”, unable to record or release new music, so touring wasn’t an option either. That meant 18 months of fallow – heartbreaking stuff for a band who’ve known nothing else in their adult lives. “At one point we were actually so disillusioned with what had happened, we didnt even know if we wanted to get back into the band anymore,” says Ryan. Fast forward 3 years and Night Network is as fresh, cathartic and vital as anything they’ve ever put out. There’s no weariness, no bitterness, just a clear desire to get back to doing what they do best – that unique blend of bittersweet melody, brutal lyrical honesty and riffs for days.
