It was just too late to be on the record but I remember playing it to John Mitchell while we were at his finishing off the  Picture album. At the time I expected it to be on the second album, which never happened until all these years later. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The album will be available on Limited CD Digipak (including bonus tracks), Gatefold 180g Double Vinyl (incl. CD) &amp; Digital Download. Digital pre-orders on iTunes and Amazon receive  The Dead Club immediately.

But while he was fully involved on the debut album, this time his role is that of a guest musician. <em> Yes, I am delighted to say we&#8217;ve gone John on board. His keyboard playing is splattered throughout the album, and I&#8217;ve also done the odd keyboard part myself.? The task of drummer this time fell to Craig Blundell, as Mitchell explains:  This time around Craig was the obvious choice to be the drummer, as far as I was concerned. I have worked with him so much that there was nobody else in the frame. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of the albums direction, Mitchell illustrates: <em> The title sounds very cool and obviously there&#8217;s a connection with the band Cabaret Voltaire. But Voltaire himself (the 18th century French philosopher) had a fascination with death, which appealed to me. He also stood for freedom of speech and freedom of religion. On top of that, I love the idea of a radio station that would reflect his views on life and cut through the bullshit which seems to be all over politics. Now, that is the type of radio station I think would reflect what a lot of us want to hear. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The album cover has been designed by Paul Tippett, who is one of the most in demand artists of the modern era. ?I like what he&#8217;s done with this sleeve. It reminds me of Moulin Rouge meets &#8216;Live And Let Die&#8217;. It is very striking, and I am sure everyone will have their own interpretation of what it reminds them of.?<\/p>\n<p>The tracklisting can be found below:<\/p>\n<p>1.Radio Voltaire<br \/>\n2.The Dead Club<br \/>\n3.Idlewild<br \/>\n4.I Don\u2019t Know Why<br \/>\n5.I Won\u2019t Break So Easily Any More<br \/>\n6.Temple Tudor<br \/>\n7.Out of Time<br \/>\n8.Warmth of the Sun<br \/>\n9.Grey Shapes on Concrete Fields<br \/>\n10.Keep The Faith<br \/>\n11.The Silent Fighter Pilot<\/p>\n<div><strong>Bonus Tracks<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>12.Temple Tudor (Piano Mix)<br \/>\n13.The Dead Club (Berlin Headquarter Mix)<br \/>\n14.Keep The Faith (Orchestral Mix)<br \/>\n15.The Kino Funfair<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kino are set to release their new album Radio Voltaire on March 23rd, 2018, arriving 13 years after the band\u2019s much-loved debut Picture back in 2005.
