Director have debuted the first fruits of their forthcoming second album due in early 2009. The band have just completed the recording of their currently untitled second album with U.S. producer Brad Wood (Smashing Pumpkins, Placebo, Liz Phair, Tortoise) in Los Angeles.

Speaking on the new album, Director’s frontman Michael Moloney says;

‘You can expect a much harder sound than the first album but mixed with some of the softest, most delicate tracks we’ve ever recorded. I think we’ve captured more of the live essence of Director on this album. We’ve just released a song call ‘Play Pretend’ as a free download. It’s quite an intense track and an indication of the kind of rocky sound people can expect.’

‘Play Pretend’ is definitely a much more assured sound for the band and bears the hallmarks of an eminent production.
