Jake Bugg is set to release his second album, 'Shangri La', on November 18.
The follow-up to last year's self-titled debut is named after Rick Rubin's Malibu studio, where the 19 year old singer-songwriter recorded the album. Rubin produced the album, and it features Jason Lader on bass, Matt Sweeney on guitar and Pete Thomas [The Attractions] on drums.
'What Doesn't Kill You' is the first single to be taken from the record, and received its first play on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show earlier this evening (September 23). Speaking to Lowe about the album, Bugg explained that it was tracked live. "I think you capture a bit of magic doing that, something you can't explain," said Bugg. He also spoke about the swiftness with which the second album has followed his first. "It came quick but, for me, music's what I do to get away from stuff... Even though its been crazy, when I have time to myself, it's me picking up my guitar… I travelled lots and had some crazy experiences, so I had a lot to write about!"
Speaking about Rubin's Malibu HQ, Bugg said: "It feels like its cut away from civilization." He added that it "felt right" to name the album after the studio.
Jake Bugg embarks on a totally sold out tour of the UK next month and into November, including three dates at London's O2 Academy Brixton on October 23, 24 and 25. source

Asdfjdjkdk!!!! Im so excited for this!! I knew about Shangri La and What doesn't Kill You, but I didn't know the album was coming out so soon
His first album and a lot of his older songs are so good.
WDKY is definitely a grower, but I love it now.
Slumville Sunrise is amazing!!!! It's the second single btw and the video is already out http://youtu.be/p4wTRbW0aos
I'm so excited to see A Song About Love, Me And You, & All Your Reasons made it onto the album. Such great songs.
I only listen to Messed Up Kids cause I was tired of whoring out WDKY and SS. I slightly heard Me And You(studio) and it was AMAZING!!! I'm saving the rest of it for 11/19. I wanna hear the full album through and through.
amazing song!! Definitely digging this one. I would post it, but it doesn't upload from my phone
