About
Specter At The Feast is the sixth album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, released on March 18 in Europe and March 19 in the US. It was released under the band's own record label, Abstract Dragon, through Vagrant Records. Unlike Beat The Devil's Tattoo, the album wasn't produced by the late Michael Been, who died after he suffered a heart attack mid-tour in 2010 while the band was playing at Pukkelpop. As a result, Specter At The Feast was a way for the band to mourn their loss and rid the pain, as he was the father of bassist Robert Levon Been, but also a live sound technician and mentor.The band have made the first single from the record, a cover of The Call's 1989 hit single "Let The Day Begin", available as a free download on their official website. The same day, the song became Q Magazine's track of the day.The band have also released the "Let The Day Begin" EP for free, consisting of the single and the album track "Returning", which has also been made available for streaming on the official website.The band have also released a six-part promotional short film documenting the recording of "Specter At The Feast".
