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.
