The rifles for the meantime


Great Escape is the second studio album from The Rifles, which was released on January 26, 2009, after the initial release date of October 13 was delayed. The album delay was somewhat attributed to the length of time it took to record. The Rifles used two different producers, Dave McCracken and Stan "Jan" Kybert, as well as recording the album in three different locations.

Contents

The Rifles used Dave Davies' (The Kinks) Konk Studios in Crouch End, Dan Hawkins' (The Darkness) studio Leeders Farm, and "The Pool" in Miloco Studios to record the album.

The working title for the album was The Pavement's Diaries.

The album was released in North America on September 15, 2009, through Nettwerk Music Group.
