Carbon/Silicon — the band fronted by The Clash’s Mick Jones and Tony James of Generation X — continues its tradition of offering fans free music by posting its latest full-length album, The Carbon Bubble, as a free MP3 download.
The 12-track album — available now, right here — was recorded in 2008 and 2009 with assistance from bassist Leo “Eazykill” Williams and drummer Dominic Greensmith, and features all-new songs written by Jones and James (see full tracklist below).
James, in a press statement, says this about the new album:
“Mick and I were always going to be different this time around, a bit more radical, a bit more ‘couldn’t care less’ about what has gone before, embrace this exciting time we live in… and we just wanted to make great music.”
Melding guitar-rock, sampling and technology in a vein similar to Big Audio Dynamite, Jones and James formed Carbon/Silicon in 2002, and since then, have released a number of albums, EPs and live records for free online, starting with their first single, “MPFree.”
