So, who's paranoid? Certainly not The Damned, who have conjured another collection of genre defying anthems. From the jangly garage rock opener of A Danger To Yourself to the lushly psychedelic closer Dark Asteroid, The Damned pull yet another rabbit out of the hat and masterfully affirm their legendary status. 32 years on, the heart of the Damned, Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible, have composed some of the finest tunes ever heard in the history of the British popular music…

Evil Spirits was funded by a pledge campaign and produced by David Bowie's longtime and frequent collaborator Tony Visconti. “We deliberately recorded the album retro style – the same way our debut album was made, basically,” said guitarist Captain Sensible. “There’s something wonderful about the '70s sounds; glam, rock and punk records – they all sound so great, and Tony specializes in beautifully crafted old-school production. He had us all playing live, bashing it out in the same room with a focus on getting the initial band version of each song as close as possible to the finished thing.”
