Free Music – Placebo Battle for the Sun Free Download
Placebo have announced an exclusive free download of the title track from their new album ‘Battle For The Sun’ available only from their official website PlaceboWorld.
‘Battle For The Sun’ is due to be released on 8th June and is Placebo’s first new album since ‘Meds’ released in 2006. The title track made its worldwide premier as the Hot Record on Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show on March 17th and the response from fans was so overwhelming that it was played again in its entirety at the end of the show.
Radio 1’s Zane Lowe said: "It's been a long time since we got a reaction like this for our H.R., Placebo fans have always been passionate and loyal and I reckon we had a planet full of them tuned into Radio 1 tonight for the first play of 'Battle for the Sun'.”
‘Battle For The Sun’ was recorded over a 3 month period in Toronto with producer Dave Bottrill who has previously worked with Tool. The album was mixed in London by Alan Moulder, renowned for his work with Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins and My Bloody Valentine. It is the sixth album from Placebo who have sold 10 million albums worldwide.
