King Crimson<\/a> fans have been warned not to assume a new album is on the way after singer and guitarist Jakko Jakszyk reported that recording sessions had taken place.<\/p>\n In an interview mainly about his solo album Son of Glen<\/em>, Jakszyk revealed<\/a> that the most recent incarnation of Robert Fripp<\/a>\u2019s band \u2013 which was thought by many to have ended operations in 2021 \u2013 had been at work \u201cpiecemeal\u201d in the studio.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cWhen that will come out and what format or how \u2013 that\u2019s beyond my brief…I\u2019ve been recording that with a view to it coming out in some format at some point. But who knows when?\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>Adrian Belew\u2019s \u201880s King Crimson Tribute May Record New Music<\/a><\/p>\n In response, Crimson manager David Singleton released a statement<\/a> titled \u201cNew Album Rumors,\u201d saying: \u201cAddressing the idea of some form of studio recording by the last incarnation of King Crimson, [late drummer] Bill Rieflin posed the excellent question, \u2018Why make a studio album? There are excellent live recordings of all the songs out there already.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Singleton continued: \u201cOne possible answer would be an album the very sound of which no-one has ever heard before. A sound driven by the three drummers. And those drummers have now recorded studio versions of their parts \u2013 separately, so that there is perfect separation.\u201d<\/p>\n Seeking to calm speculation, he added: \u201cSo there is the seed of a new recording. Whether it is an album, whether it sees the light of day, whether it is something else is unknown. As is the outcome of any creative process.<\/p>\n \u201cSo yes, recordings have taken place. Getting excited about the possibility of a new album, as has apparently been happening, is somewhat premature. Carts before horses.\u201d<\/p>\n Jakszyk had reported that the most recent Crimson lineup \u2013 also featuring Tony Levin, Mel Collins, Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison and Reiflin\u2019s replacement Jeremy Stacey \u2013 were all involved in the project, and they\u2019d been recording material written since the band\u2019s return in 2013.<\/p>\n From ‘The Lamb’ to ‘Octopus’ to ‘The Snow Goose’ \u2014 the best LPs that dream beyond 4\/4.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Ryan Reed<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nExpecting New King Crimson Album Is \u2018Somewhat Premature\u2019<\/h3>\n
