“The priestess of provocation, Asia Argento is a
kindred spirit in this crazy zombie world we live in, we were born to
collaborate, she’s the bomb!” - Mark
Stewart 2015
"Collaborating with
The Pop Group is a dream come true.
The track blew my mind: all the set-ups and symbols in the video are
inspired on a subconscious level by the music and the lyrics. I imagined a world ruled by the colourful
souls of eternal children, expressing their crazy love through art, a spiritual
warfare against a world populated by the living dead. The
kids that appear in the video have worked also in the last movie I directed,
including my daughter Anna-Lou. Between us there is a deep bond of trust and
freedom. The same freedom I was given by the band
when they chose me to direct their first single in 35 years. I am deeply
grateful to have my vision entwined with MAD TRUTH for eternity." - Asia
Argento 2015
The Pop Group hanno rivoluzionato il post-punk inglese
di fine anni ’70, con i loro testi polemici e taglienti, accompagnati
dall’assoluta avanguardia musicale che da sempre li contraddistingue. Dopo la
ripubblicazione lo scorso ottobre di We Are Time, lo storico disco del 1980, e
di Cabinet Of Curiosities, la raccolta di inediti e rarità, a distanza di 35
anni dall’ultimo album di studio, è in uscita il 23 febbraio Citizen Zombie, il
nuovo disco della band guidata dal carismatico Mark Stewart. Prodotto da Paul Epworth
(Adele, U2, Coldplay, Paul McCartney, Primal Scream…), Citizen Zombie esce su
etichetta !K7/Audioglobe.
I provocatori del post-punk sono tornati!
Mad Truth è disponibile in free download preordinando Citizen
Zombie su iTunes a partire dal 6 gennaio http://geni.us/ThePopGroupCZombie
“The years have divested this
band's music of none of its urgent potency.” - The Guardian 2014
“It was an amazing
opportunity and very exciting to be working with the guys. The energy is still there, the idea is
still there, it still fizzes with a life that most young bands today just don’t
have.” - Paul Epworth 2014
“Even I
am shocked by the album. It really flips the script. Expect the
unexpected. Let the freak flag
fly.” - Mark Stewart 2014
Citizen Zombie arriva a 35 anni di distanza dall’ultimo lavoro di
studio del Pop Group. Registrato in
due anni in varie location ed ultimato negli studi di Paul Epworth, fan della band da lungo tempo, il nuovo disco segna
l’atteso ritorno di Mark Stewart e
soci, nella loro formazione originaria (Mark Stewart: testi e voce, Dan Catsis:
basso, Gareth Sager: chitarra, Bruce Smith: batteria)
“From his work with Phones onwards,
I’ve loved his work and think he’s one of the world’s best producers. He gave
us the freedom to create and, with his help, destiny rides again for The Pop
Group”,
così Mark Stewart commenta Citizen
Zombie ed il rapporto lavorativo con Epworth.
