Manic Street Preachers 13th studio album in totalWinner of the “Inspiration Award” at the Q AWARDS 2017, “Resistance is Futuristic” is Mannix’s 13th studio album, following “Rewind the Film” (2013) and “Futurologie” (2014). Recorded at the newly built “Door to the River Studios” near Newport, the new album marks a return to Mannix’s unique sound. The main themes of “Resistance is Futile” are memory and loss. The main themes of “Resistance is Futile” are memory and loss, forgotten histories, chaotic realities, hiding places, and art as inspiration. It’s exclusively melodic and in many ways reminiscent of both the innocent energy of “Generation Terrorist” and the orchestrated sonic sweep of “Everything Must Go”. Although it took a long and difficult time to get started, the album has come together in a snap over the past few months. Thanks to our increased creativity and old-school diligence,” the band says.
