Pitchfork: Bauhaus Considering New Album

Reunions seem to be a dime a dozen these days. And as great as the Pixies and Dinosaur Jr. tours have been to witness, most bands aren't too interested in mustering up the energy to record together again. Or maybe it's just bad memories (e.g., Frank Black vs. Kim Deal, J Mascis vs. Lou Barlow). Whatever the case, the legendeary goth quartet Bauhaus is reportedly trying to go that extra mile by reforming for a tour and a new album, since, you know, they already did that whole reunion thing seven years ago in 1998. According to BBC 6, frontman Peter Murphy said, "I've actually been working on reforming the band for the last year. It's come to the point now that we are going to tour here [in the UK] in the winter and do a world tour and an album."

A new album would be the first since Burning from the Inside in 1983, which lacked Murphy's presence on much of the LP (due to a serious illness) and foreshadowed the other members' work as Love and Rockets. And despite those long years, you may recall that all this doesn't come completely out of nowhere, as Bauhaus reunited as recent as this year for the Coachella festival in April.
