Bright Black Heaven is the upcoming second studio album by American electronica band Blaqk Audio, side project of Davey Havok and Jade Puget of AFI. The album title was first revealed in October 2009 in an interview with Jade on myYearbook.[1] It is likely to be released in late Spring/early Summer 2011.[2]
Background information
The album is a follow-up to 2007's CexCells, and it was actually ready before AFI's Crash Love (2009), but Puget said that he and Havok felt that "if all of a sudden we're doing two Blaqk Audio records in a row people will think AFI is not happening or something."[3] They've continued to write new songs for the album since they finished Crash Love, so Bright Black Heaven could undergo some changes before its eventual release.[3][4]
Since February 2010 the California based radio station Live 105 has been playing a new Blaqk Audio song entitled "Ill Lit Ships".[5][dead link] Radio Soundcheck, the segment on which the song appears, plays mainly non-mainstream songs, which indicates that "Ill Lit Ships" will most likely not be a single from Bright Black Heaven.
From July 22, 2010, BPM on Sirius XM Radio have been playing a new Blaqk Audio song entitled "Bon Voyeurs".
The current plan is to release a single on Black Friday (November 26 in 2010), and continue releasing singles until the release of Bright Black Heaven around May 2011.[2]
Writing and production
Comparing to CexCells, the band has explored some different things, with more of a drum-and-bass influence in particular.[3]
Puget writes the entire songs from top to bottom, then sends them to Havok who writes the lyrics. They also produce the songs, and the mixing is done by Michael Patterson.[3]
Benjamin Grey of the band Scarlet Grey has done backing vocals on some of the material.[6]
Personnel
- Davey Havok – lead vocals, primary lyricist, production
