New York Dolls Going Backwards On New Album

Band to release brand new album in March

Published 14th Jan 2011

New York Dolls have announced that brand new album, Dancing Backwards In High Heels, will be released on 18 March.

The follow-up to 2009's "Cause I Sez So" was recorded in September 2010 at Blast Recording Studios in Newcastle, England with producer Jason Hill (Louis XIV/The Killers) and features original NYD members, David Johansen (vocals) and Sylvain Sylvain (guitar) with Brian Delaney (drums), Jason Hill (bass) and original Blondie guitarist Frank Infante.

The CD will be packaged with a bonus DVD filmed during the recording of the album, incorporating previous unseen footage and "live" audio tracks from the bands three sold-out performances at The Cluny venue in Newcastle, on September 4th, 5th and 6th 2010.

Sylvain Sylvain stated about the new recording: "I think this is the most creative record that the New York Dolls, and me and David in particular, have ever done.  We’ve worked with a lot of great people and I’m not putting anybody down and I’m not trying to compare it with earlier versions of The Dolls but as far as song-writing goes I think that these are the best songs that we have ever come up with".
