Genesis announced today that the will be releasing a new compilation box-set, as well as the announcement that they are "making plans" to record a new album in the near future.
Don't expect Phil Collins or Peter Gabriel on the new record however. Tony Banks had this to say:
"A new Genesis album is in fact coming, yes. As of right now though, only Mike (Rutherford) and myself are locked in; I've been talking to Phil about the idea for the past couple years, but unfortunately he has family obligations and can't track drums due to his back issues...and Gabriel has a good amount of his schedule locked in for the next century [laughs]."
However, Banks briefly mentioned the Australian hit-maker that might take Collin's place both behind the mic and kit.
"About three months ago, I called Gotye about the idea of joining Genesis as our new singer and drummer and he immediately said yes. Mike's also been looking for a relatively fresher face to share guitar duties with, and we agreed on choosing John Mitchell (Arena, Frost*, It Bites) for the position.
This will be a Genesis album for a new century, one that I think will both please our fans and make many new ones."
The new album is slated to be completed by summer 2017. The Book Of Genesis compilation box, which contains nine disks; the first three disks including the best of their studio career remastered from the original studio tapes by Barry Diament, a two-disk live collection, and a four-disk anthology of members' solo work, will be released September 30th.
