Overhead, The Albatross have announced their debut album Learning To Growl.
It’ll feature the previously-featured ‘Big River Man’ and eight other tracks. It was recorded in Straffan, Kildare at Clique Recordings, mixed by Phillip Magee.
The Dublin six-piece have shared the album’s opening track ‘Indie Rose’ , a track that grows from a cinematic core to a textured track that falls short of a growl. It’s accompanied by a superbly-shot video by Luke Daly (produced by Bold Puppy) featuring footage of Dublin dwellers in and around the city. The track’s name comes from their friends’ daughter.
The album is up for pre-order on Bandcamp and Overhead, The Albatross are holding two listening parties this week on April 6th and 7th – The Workman’s Club. The band play the venue on April 9th.
