Man on the Run is the upcoming sixth studio album by British alternative rock band Bush, scheduled for release on 21 October 2014, through Zuma Rock Records.[1] It marks the band's second studio album to be recorded under its current incarnation (Gavin Rossdale, Robin Goodridge, Chris Traynor, Corey Britz), which reformed in 2010 after an eight-year hiatus and released The Sea of Memories in 2011. The album release in 2014 marks the 20th year anniversary of the bands debut album, Sixteen Stone.
Background and development
The band spent two years touring in support of their previous album, The Sea of Memories, before returning to the studio in 2013 to record new music. Singer-guitarist Gavin Rossdale wrote most of Man on the Run at his home studio in Los Angeles.[2] In an interview with Yahoo! Music published on 19 August 2014, Rossdale described the writing process for the album:
"They say the hardest thing for a writer is putting yourself in a seat to do it. I'm really untrained with music, so it's always a natural process of understanding more about music by writing songs. So it's a grand voyage of discovery. I have a good time doing it, I love my job. I just dive right in. I have a collection of words that I've been writing over the previous couple of years... I have a file of that stuff and each day I dive into that and see if there's anything I can salvage. Then I think of the tempo and the feeling of the songs and how it fits my mood for that day."[2]
The album, produced by Nick Raskulinecz, was recorded at Studio 606 in Los Angeles and at NRG Recording Studios in North Hollywood, California.[3][4]
On 18 August 2014, Rossdale revealed the album's title as Man on the Run through a video announcement.[5] Rossdale tells Rolling Stone the title is "meant as a universal take on a slice of my life and the people I come across. It just seems that the doors are closing and everyone is trying to figure out their way. It's the most universal title I've ever had. I always figure everyone is on the run."[4]
Promotion
In support of the album, the band plans to perform at various shows and festivals through the end of 2014 before a full-scale tour happens in 2015.[6]
