FICTION PLANE's new album 'Sparks' to be released through Roadrunner Records on May 10

Fiction Plane has licensed its third album, SPARKS, to Roadrunner Records for Europe (excluding the UK), the Middle East, and Africa.

SPARKS follows LEFT SIDE OF THE BRAIN, which was released in May 2007 and featured the popular single “Two Sisters”. The band spent much of the following two years touring the album, supporting The Police on their world tour, and The Feeling, Snoop Dogg, and 311 during their respective summer tours in 2008. They also played a number of successful European headline tours and festivals such as Pinkpop, Festival Des Vieilles Charrues, Rock Im Park, and Rock Am Ring.

SPARKS was recorded in the latter half of 2009, together with producer Paul Corkett (Nick Cave, Biffy Clyro, Bjork and Placebo). The LP combines the band’s live energy and highly imaginative songwriting.

SPARKS will be available in two different versions - a standard version and a limited edition with three bonus tracks. Both versions are due for release on 10th of May 2010.

Front man Joe Sumner said that the partnership with Roadrunner records was “like dolphins ganging up on a shark. It's great to feel like our label won't be eating prawn sandwiches unless we are, too."

In support of the album, the band will play the European summer festival circuit before heading out on a European headline tour in the fall.

Album release dates in other global territories will be announced soon.
