The Cranberries definitely left us all lingering for just a bit too long as their decade long hiatus from releasing music finally shudders to a halt today.
Their new single ‘Show Me’ was released as a free download via the bands Facebook page since 12pm today. The new album is to follow next year on February 10th 2012 and will be called Roses and will be released with the romantic notion attached on Valentines day.
The free download single will only be available for 2 weeks to get on that ASAP.
Dolores stated
“Having recorded two albums with various different musicians during our hiatus, I could clearly see that Noel and Mike have a unique way of creating chords and Ferg keeps it together in a subtle way. We had a blast in the studio, Stephen was in his zone and it came together rather quickly. There is a sense of rejuvenation in the group, a freshness.” Guitarist Noel Hogan added, “I always had the attitude that there would be another album. Over the last six years, Dolores and I were sending each other ideas on and off.” During the reunion tour, the band began working on new music during sound-checks. “The icing on the cake was to work with Stephen Street again who helped us re-discover our sound.”
