Highlighted as one of our 20 groups to watch in 2009, Director announced several months ago that work on their newest work was in the refining stage. Titled I'll Wait For Sound, the album certainly has many jittery hands awaiting it as the group's previous work, We Thrive On Big Cities, rivaled The Killers for the top spot in the UK charts in 2006.
The release date in Ireland will be May 8 and the first single, "Sing It Without A Tune" will prelude the release on May 1. Other release dates include:
May 8 (digital release on iTunes) - Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Greece, The Netherlands, Italy, Finland, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, Portugal and Denmark
August 3 - UK, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore
September 21 (physical and digital) - the rest of Europe and any other unnamed countries
Director prepared for their new music while staying above a bar in Dublin before hitting the road to LA where they then recorded during October and November of last year with producer Brad Wood (Ben Lee, Pete Yorn, Say Anything). Their single "Sing It Without A Tune" can be found streaming on their website.
