Blues Pills will release their second album, Lady In Gold, on August 5th. The band have issued a message to their UK fans. Watch the video below:

The band recently released a music video for “Lady In Gold”. The video was directed by Johan Bååth (Avatarium, Dregen) who is best known for his work with cult director Jonas Åkerlund, and shot by well known Backyard Babies drummer Peder Carlsson.

"We shot the video for “Lady In Gold” in Stockholms skärgård (what is like an old castle) with the amazing team around Johan Bååth," commented singer Elin Larsson. "The idea behind the video is to visualize the “Lady In Gold” in all the different ways she can come. She can be that beautiful young woman or a scary old witch. It was a lot of fun and super exciting to jump into these different roles and characters. The whole team did a great job and it was a pleasure to work with all these talented people. Clothes and design was made by Anna Bonnevier and make up and hair by Cecilia Lidén. We all hope you will enjoy the video."

The Lady In Gold album will contain 10 brand new tracks (see full tracklisting below).

Bassist, founding member and main songwriter Zach Anderson comments: "The design comes from the dutch artist Marijke Koger-Dunham who already worked with us for the first album cover. We are super proud to have the opportunity to work with such a legendary artist who has even worked with The Beatles, Cream and many more. The original design was made by her 50 years ago. We worked together to adapt the colors to fit the mood of the album. Hopefully our fans will like it as much as we do."

Commented singer Elin Larsson on the choice of the album's title: "Lady Gold is a character who symbolizes death. We wanted a twist on the typical stereotype of death being the grim reaper. So instead we made her a lady in gold."
