Evanescence Taking Electro Direction

(RTTNews) - Evanescence singer Amy Lee has revealed that the band's upcoming album will feature new influences and a distinctly electro feel.


The singer cited groups such as Depeche Mode, Massive Attack, Portishead, CSS, La Roux and MGMT as influences for the band's latest style.


"A lot of bands I've always been inspired by are just coming into play a little more," Lee said in an interview with Rolling Stone. "There's a lot of stuff that doesn't sound like Evanescence, but the heart of the band of still there. This is a really, really, rhythmically driven record. So there's tons of drum-programming fused with live drums."
 
Lee also expressed her enthusiasm for the project, saying, "Over the past year and a half, these songs have become the centre of my life, and I can't wait to hear what they grow into in the studio."


Evanescence started recording new material for the currently untitled new album on February 22. The band is working with famed producer Steve Lillywhite, who has also worked with Dave Matthews Band, the Rolling Stones and U2.
