Blood Red Shoes Talk "Darker" Second Album

Blood Red Shoes have spoken about their future recording plans and described how their second album is shaping up so far.

The Brighton boy-girl duo of Steven Ansell and Laura-Mary Carter, released their debut album Box Of Secrets last year to great reception, but the pair can't wait to complete their next full-lengther - as Steven explains on the band's website.

"We're being really strict with ourselves and making sure everything is 100% in place, we're not one of those bands who go into a studio with some half-baked ideas then pay a producer to convert that into something people might care about. And we also want to make sure that every b-side is not just bulls*** filler but actually worthy music."

"It's shaping up to be a lot more varied than the first album, and no that doesn't mean ballads, it just means it's got more dynamics and light and shade in there. I think we're definitely pushing the darker elements of our sound to the front a bit more too."

Blood Red Shoes have three live shows scheduled for next month and tickets are on sale here.
