Hawkwind are to release The Machine Stops on April 15.
The follow-up to 2012’s Onward is a concept album based on E.M Forster’s dystopian sci-fi novel, also named The Machine Stops.
The album is described as “an atmospheric, musical interpretation beginning in tunnels deep beneath the earth, where every need is controlled and catered for by the machine.”
Label Cherry Red Records adds: “The struggle to escape and find a way to reach the outer surface is a utopian dream, which could prove to be the most deadly dream of all.”
Hawkwind have also added further shows to their UK tour in April.
The Machine Stops can be pre-ordered here.
