(hennemusic) Amazon has posted a May 29th release date for "Clockwork Angels," the forthcoming new album by Rush.The band's 20th studio effort is also set for a May 23rd release in Japan, according to online music retail sites in that country.
Rush drummer Neil Peart recently shared some insight into the sessions for the new project. "In recent years I have been working deliberately to become more improvisational on the drums, and these sessions were an opportunity to attempt that approach in the studio," wrote Peart. "I played through each song just a few times on my own, checking out patterns and fills that might work, then called in Booujzhe [aka producer Nick Raskulinecz]. He stood in the room with me, facing my drums, with a music stand and a single drumstickhe was my conductor, and I was his orchestra. (I later replaced that stick with a real baton.)" more on this story
