Supergrass prep U.S. release of Diamond Hoo Ha

By Alex Young on June 5th, 2008

Supergrass is gearing up for the U.S. release of their sixth studio album, Diamond Hoo Ha, scheduled to hit music sheleves on June 10 via Parlophone Records. The new album from the English natives who have gained a following after support stints with Arctic Monkeys and Coldplay, peaked at #19 on the U.K. charts.

Recorded at Hansa Studios in Berlin and produced by Nick Launay (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nick Cave, PiL, Gang Of Four), Diamond Hoo Ha is the band at their exuberant best. What other British band is still able, with seemingly effortless ease to conjure up songs and videos that crackle with breezy enthusiasm, humor and inventiveness?

In addition to the upcoming release, Supergrass are gearing up for a number of tour dates, including several here in the United States in support of the Foo Fighters.
