ANDREW W.K. Talks About Upcoming Album

October 26, 2005

ANDREW W.K. has told MTV.com that he was written at least 18 songs, with another 10 in various stages of completion, for the follow-up to 2003's "The Wolf". Before he can release the LP, Andrew needs to align himself with a record label, having severed ties with Island Records more than a year ago.

Regarding what the new album will sound like, Andrew told MTV.com, "Why would you want to expect anything?" Wouldn't it be equally or perhaps more exciting to expect something that's impossible to expect? I've really enjoyed being able to see movies, listen to albums, look at pictures and anticipate the experience of it — to really be excited to look, hear it, see it, whatever it is. What will really excite me is when I can almost expect not to be able to expect anything. It's like when you go see a movie and you're like, 'I have no idea what this is going to be like.' It's not so much focused on not knowing what it's going to be, as it's about giving something the benefit of the doubt."

Songtitles set to appear on the new CD include "I'm a Vagabond", "I Want to See You Go Wild", "I'm Not Going to Bed", "Pushing Drugs", "You Will Remember Tonight" and "Kicks and Bricks". The latter two tracks can be accessed through W.K.'s web site.

Andrew also has a DVD on the way. "Who Knows?" is set for a January 24 release and will feature live footage shot over four years on the road, as well as behind-the-scenes footage, an Andrew W.K. fan tribute, outtakes of Andrew performing "I Get Wet" and additional footage of Andrew's antics.
