The Blow Monkeys have been name-dropped after the release of the new My Bloody Valentine album; some fans have suggested MBV's track "New You" is partially reminiscent of the Blow Monkeys' classic "Digging Your Scene." Whether you agree or disagree (both tracks posted at the bottom of the page), the discussion has been great timing for the Blow Monkeys because they're about to release a brand new album. Feels Like A New Morning includes 10 tracks and comes with a bonus disc featuring acoustic versions of the band's classics performed by leader Dr. Robert. Feels Like A New Morning drops April 16 on import from Amazon or April 8th in the U.K. on Cherry Red Records. Take a look at the tracklisting for the album below:
