The sophomore album from London-based avant/ambient rock outfit THE WINCHESTER CLUB is set for North American release on May 3, 2011. Entitled Negative Liberty, the new album takes the band’s patented postrock-inspired jams to new levels of cinematic, ambient awesomeness. Conceptually, Negative Liberty follows the concept of freedom in modern society, deeply inspired by Adam Curtis’s highly acclaimed documentary series The Trap. THE WINCHESTER CLUB‘s lineup is comprised of members of notable London underground stalwarts such as End Of Level Boss, Hangnail and Chineseburn, and their debut album Britannia Triumphant which was limited to 1200 copies, sold out in Europe in under three weeks.
