Refused has shared a second new song from their new album, Freedom. Listen to “Françafrique” at The Guardian now:http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/may/26/refused-francafrique-new-track-listen.
Refused are fucking alive. And Freedom, the follow-up album to their 1998 seminal release, The Shape of Punk to Come, will be released onJune 30 via Epitaph. Though Refused played reunion shows, including a Coachella appearance in 2012, no one predicted they would make a new record. But flash forward to 2015, and the band announced the release of Freedom with much surprise to longtime fans.
In a recent interview with front man Dennis Lyxzén, Rolling Stonedeclared that “‘Freedom’ is quite possibly the band’s most electrifying and propulsive record to date.” The full interview can be read at Rolling Stone.
