The band started 2023 by doing a BBC Sounds live session and interview, and a successful first visit to the USA with huge, brilliantly received, showcases at SXSW in Austin, TX, and New Colossus Festival NYC. A prestigious support slot followed with indie rock legends Ash on the Irish leg of their UK and European tour. Now in 2024, the band are excited to ascend the next stage in their musical evolution with their highly anticipated, yet-to-be-named, sophomore album later in the year.
The new single from the forthcoming album,“Swim In the Bay”, isn’t exactly ‘coy’ as songs go. The song is boldly and unashamedly inspired by the act of giving both oral – (and aural!) – pleasure and is in keeping with the fearless themes from the debut album (“Drag”, “Aubergine” …) The track was recorded in the band’s rehearsal room/studio – an old ballroom above a working man’s club in Belfast, and it was mixed by Andy Bradfield and Avril Mackintosh (The XX, Bjork, Manic St Preachers, Rufus Wainwright.) Guitarist Jonny Woods is excited about the band’s achievements to date, he says: “We’re really happy that our first record has been reissued on splatter vinyl, and we’re excited to get moving on Album 2, which “Swim in the Bay” will feature on.”
Think glorious indie alternative rock tunes reminiscent of acts such as The Smashing Pumpkins, Curve, The Joy Formidable and Wolf Alice but with the Wynona Bleach stamp all over it. If “Swim In the Bay” is anything to go by, be prepared for loud grungy energy, unmistakeable hooks, lush melodies, the bold, the sassy and the beautiful.
