Matt Skiba and the Sekrets Announces New Album

Matt Skiba and the Sekrets has unveiled details for their sophomore full length.  The album will be titled KUTS and is due out June 2, 2015 via Superball Music.  The disc was produced by Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck and The Vines).  Skiba comments:

“I went in with really open and stark ideas, knowing that Rob would breathe life into the very vague ideas I had. I had written progressions and lyrics as well as some leads and key parts, but knew that what I was going to come out of that studio with would be completely different than what I walked in with.”

Skiba elaborates on what can be expected with the new disc:

“The writing style and entire approach to this new one was a stronger desire to do something fairly different from my other band. We used sounds hugely influenced by early David Bowie stuff and took more chances. I knew that the playing of Hunter and Jarrod would bring entirely new elements to the songs that would help shape them in a huge way and influence ideas that I would never have thought of on my own. They did great stuff for the last record but had even more freedom on this one. It really shaped the way this record sounds.”

The album follows Skiba’s debut album, Babylon, released in 2013.
