The Story
The third album from Royal Blood, âTyphoonsâ, comes exclusively pressed to zoetrope picture disc, limited to 3,000 copies and hand-numbered on a first-come-first-serve basis from Blood Records. Set to be the biggest rock album of 2021 this stunning record features âTyphoonâ sound-wave animated artwork by Drew Tetz.Â
When Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher sat down to talk about making a new album, they knew what they wanted to achieve. It involved a conscious return to their roots, back when they had made music that was influenced by Daft Punk, Justice, and Philippe Zdar of Cassius. It also called for a similar back-to-basics approach to what had made their self-titled debut album so thrilling, visceral and original.
After setting the tone with âTroubleâs Comingâ, the album opens in breathless, take-no-prisoners style with the fierce metallic grooves of âWho Needs Friendsâ hitting an early visceral peak. Royal Blood further reference their fresh array of influences by deploying vocodered vocals on âMillion & Oneâ before dynamically switching between the biggest contrasts of their sound with âLimboâ. Already a fan favourite having been a regular during the duoâs 2019 shows, âBoilermakerâ lives up to its reputation and is more than matched by âMad Visionsâ, which evokes a hyper-aggressive Prince. It ends with a final surprise in the shape of the stark piano ballad âAll We Have Is Nowâ, a vulnerable and revealing reminder to live in the moment.
Their previous two albums both went straight to #1 in the UK, in the process accumulating 2 million global sales. The reaction to the singles âTroubleâs Comingâ and âTyphoonsâ has been phenomenal. They both premiered as Annie Macâs Hottest Record and were immediately playlisted at Radio 1. The duo previously won the BRIT Award for Best British Group, two NME Awards and a Kerrang! Award. Their debut album was also nominated for the Mercury Prize.Â
