The Cork alt-rock band The Altered Hours have released a new single ‘All Amnesia’ today on Dundalk label Pizza Pizza Records.
Marking a subtle shift in the band’s sound, the song has an eerie gothic folk vibe to the melodies matched with the band’s textured rock rhythms. The song is about really living in the present.
“The lyrics represent what it means to forget the past and to be guided only by the desire of the moment. It speaks to the idea that forgetting or suppressing history can lead to erasure of the future and how unwillingness to face our reality leaves us floating in a hedonistic present”
Elaine Howley, THE ALTERED HOURS
Hear the track:
We’re really excited for this chapter of our band’s music, this song is inspired by our love for rock ‘n’ roll & rich melodies & the endless pathways that can take us on. We feel we’re always getting closer & closer to the core of what we love about music & this is another step in that exploration.”
