Mark Gardener announced today that the album he recorded with Robin Guthrie from Cocteau Twins is called Universal Road and will be released in March (exact release date TBA). The two legends recorded the collaborative album in France over the past couple of years. Back in May of 2013, Gardener had this to say about the album:
"We’ve just finished a new 10-track album together...it's one of the best albums I have ever been involved in – I’m looking forward to releasing and playing more shows with Robin and the band."
A tracklisting and cover art for the collaborative album have not yet been revealed.
New @robinguthrie / @MarkGardener album "Universal Road" will be released in March 2015 ! X

While you're waiting for the new album, revisit Gardener and Guthrie's breathtaking single from 2012 titled "The Places We Go."
Gardener fans should also enjoy the track he released with Telepopmusik in 2014. Watch the creepy video for "Sound" below:
