So where’s that new Bush album everyone has been talking about back at the start of the year? Well, according to frontman Gavin Rossdale, it’s coming. It’s just taking longer than expected:
“It’s really close [to being finished],” he told Heavy Magazine. “I thought we’d be done by now. We’re just going through the mixes and a couple of last bits and pieces. But nothing is far away. All the songs are chosen, and the band’s done [recording its parts].”
“I thought we’d be ready by now,” he went on to explain. “But it’ll definitely be ready in time for the [Australian] tour [in April 2020]. There won’t be too many [songs in the set list] from the new record, but I think it’d be nice to pepper three or four in there and see how it goes.”
Rossdale also revealed that the name of the new album, The Mind Plays Tricks On You, is a line from the song “Undone” that would be included in it.
“No one really tortures ourselves like ourselves,” he expanded. “Whether it be social media, our career, advertising is based on our decisions, and there’s a lot of things angled against us that’s always telling us we should probably be in more trouble than we possibly are. Depression is so much rooted in fear of the future and fear of the past and the repercussions, but the good news is that nobody really gives a s**t. You are generally okay and don’t have to be so worried about things.”
