The Charlatans - Different Days

Everything speaks for it
The Charlatans have been active as musicians for almost 30 years. They have been a welcome guest in the charts in their home country of England for almost as long. Their last album, "Modern Nature," even reached the Top 10 again. Perfect prospects for their 13th studio album, "Different Days."

There are also a few other arguments in favor of the new album. First up is the first single, "Plastic Machinery," which was released in April 2017. The song not only impresses with its usual melody-loving Britpop, but also with its top-class guests. In addition to The Charlatans, The Smiths founder Johnny Marr and former The Verve drummer Pete Salisbury can be heard on the album.

The band has also enlisted some other support for "Different Days." None other than Paul Weller sings alongside Tim Burgess on the song "Spinning Out." Stephen Morris of New Order and Anton Newcombe of The Brian Jonestown Massacre also contributed to the album.

Last but not least, writer and actress Sharon Horgan joins the cast as backing vocalist, while writer Ian Rankin and Lampchop mastermind Kurt Wagner provided the spoken word in "Future Tense" and "The Forgotten One."

Experienced Britpop icons, exciting guests, and 13 great songs: All the arguments speak for "Different Days," the new album by The Charlatans.
