Prep Programme

'The Programme' via Bright Antenna Records. This album is the sound of Prep, shut away in a 1970s disco studio in Paris, channeling all the emotion and spirit of a year's writing through the legendary groove filter of French producer Renaud Letang (Feist, L'impratrice, and Benny Sings). - 'The Programme' is Prep at it's most confident, showing off it's sparkling taste through bold features and a bigger, near-anthemic sound-the result of playing bigger and bigger venues around the world. "The songs are about looking for connection, finding it, and losing it," the band explain. "Sonically, some of it goes to more epic places than we've been previously; some of it's more introspective and intimate. We threw things open and collaborated more than we ever have before - in Europe, the US and Asia - but it feels like we've ended up with a record that, beyond anything we've done, sounds like the four of us, playing in a room together."
