Bedouin Soundclash Preach About New Album

Even though reggae dub rockers Bedouin Soundclash have been busy touring and promoting their sophomore album, Sounding A Mosaic, they've managed to find the time to record a follow up.

Street Gospels is expected to make its appearance this summer and lead singer Jay Malinowski commented on the band's website that the record "is going to be the strongest thing we've ever done in terms of our headspace. I can't wait to get it out."

Recorded in Toronto and New York, Malinowski — along with bandmates Eon Sinclair and Pat Pengelly — have once again enlisted the help of Bad Brains punk-reggae bass player Daryl Jenifer to spearhead production. The album also features contributions from Wade MacNeil of Alexisonfire and Money Mark of Beastie Boys.

As if a new disc weren't enough to keep the band on their toes, the trio recently started their own label called Pirates Blend. Bedouin have enjoyed mainstream success since their second album was released in 2005. The Juno-winning group have been touring extensively. They're currently in London, where they'll be for the rest of March until they land in the U.S. in April for another tour with Men, Women And Children.

No track list has been confirmed as of yet for Street Gospels.
