AC/DC return to the record bins this Friday with PWR/UP (Power Up) their first new studio album in six years.
Angus Young on how AC/DC came to record their new album, PWR/UP.
Some of the riffs and ideas that Angus and his late brother Malcolm had — for songs that ended up on PWR/UP — date back to the early 2000s.
Angus Young on the leftover material he had that helped make up the tracks on PWR/UP.
Malcolm died in 2017 from complications of dementia.
Produced by Brendan O’Brien, who oversaw their last two albums, PWR/UP is available in numerous configurations, including one that you can literally power up.
The limited-edition deluxe CD box set has a button on the side that powers up a flashing neon AC/DC logo light on the cover while the opening bars of the album’s first single, “Shot in the Dark,” can be heard on the box’s built-in speaker.
The box also contains a 20-page booklet and USB charging cable allowing the box to remain powered up and on display.
And of course it’s also available on vinyl as well as digitally.
