Cork band Fred are back after taking a year out to lie low and record new items after the hectic 2008/9 that the release of Go God Go created for them.
The success of the album brought them international touring and they want to follow that up with another album which can put them back on that plateau. The album they have come back with is Leaving My Empire and is their fourth studio album. The album was recorded in Montreal with Howard Bilerman who has worked with Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade and British Sea Power.
They release the album on April 15th 2011 so little under a month away now and is somewhat more ambitious and mature album. The lead single from the album ‘If Not Now When‘ will come out on April 1st.
