Prepare to rejoice, indie fans! The Zutons, the acclaimed band behind the unforgettable hit ‘Valerie,’ are making a triumphant return after 16 years with their upcoming album, ‘The Big Decider.’ Scheduled for release on April 26, 2024, this long-awaited musical masterpiece promises to be a game-changer for both the band and their dedicated fanbase.
Produced by the legendary studio maestro Nile Rodgers, ‘The Big Decider’ not only showcases The Zutons’ unmistakable sound but also marks a reunion with their original producer, Ian Broudie of The Lightning Seeds. The album is set to be a landmark addition to the band’s discography, following their last studio effort, ‘You Can Do Anything,’ released in 2008.
Frontman Dave McCabe, now 42, shared his enthusiasm about collaborating with the 71-year-old Chic legend. “Working with Nile was just an amazing experience,” McCabe expressed. “He gave me a confidence that I’ve never felt before making a record. He’s very laid-back as a person and a good listener.”
He discovered the gem when he was 12 years old and still has it now, claiming it to be why he fell in love with music. He likes to play disc golf when he's not writing about music. He is a one-of-a-kind individual who is always the first to bust out his air guitar on the dance-floor.
