The Who really kept their fans waiting for their next studio album, and after learning about everything they’ve got in store for us – it was definitely worth it. The rock legends teased their upcoming record with a new single and announced they’re going to support it with a world tour.
The band’s lead guitarist Pete Townshend detailed their new album in a statement and said it will feature a total of 13 songs – ranging from dark ballads, heavy rock stuff, experimental electronica, sampled stuff and tunes reminiscent of their signature sound.
“This album is almost all new songs written last year, with just two exceptions. There is no theme, no concept, no story, just a set of songs that I (and my brother Simon) wrote to give Roger Daltrey some inspiration, challenges, and scope for his newly revived singing voice,” explained Townshend.
The band’s new album will simply be titled Who, and it’s scheduled to be released on November 22nd. Lead single “Ball and Chain” came out on Friday, but we’ll have to wait for a little bit longer to hear the rest of this highly-anticipated record.
