Artist: BAD LIEUTENANT
Album: NEVER CRY ANOTHER TEAR (CD)

Release date: 2009
Media type: CD

Bad Lieutenant formed in 2007 with New Order's Bernard Sumner (guitar and vocals) alongside Phil Cunningham (guitar) and Jake Evans (guitar and vocals). The album features sounds that have helped make New Order such a treasured, innovative force over the past three decades, but also featured is a brand new voice from exotic Macclesfield, Jake Evans.

The new album centre's around crisp, streamlined, 21st century guitar music - underscored by keyboards and occasional melodica. The record includes Sumner's seemingly effortless melodic invention, but now these familiar joys blend with vocals and the talented guitar work of Jake Evans.

"This album is very important to me," says Bernard. "We've worked hard on it and I'm proud of it. It's also important because it gives people the chance to hear a gifted new singer and guitar player who I think is really talented."

Together, the band have spent over a year writing, recording and mixing the album near Manchester, which features additional musicians including Alex James (Blur) and Stephen Morris (New Order and Joy Division) on several recordings.
