The Cork five-piece’s first LP is set to arrive on February 13th on So Young Records, following June’s single ‘Big Empty Heart’, the only one of the band’s previous singles to make the album. The album is described as shifting from “the brittle honesty of folk to the theatrical melodrama of goth-rock” throughout.

“Something the record looks at is peeling back the ‘masquerade’ or the facade we all put up,” said frontman Euan Manning. “The curtain is pulled and cynicism takes its place – it’s really easy to be cynical and far harder to be hopeful and genuine. -NME
