Circa Waves have announced their new album
'Death & Love Pt.2', set for release on 24th October via Lower Third/[PIAS].
The Liverpool band's latest offering completes the two-part album series, with both sections combining to form an 18-track collection available on CD and double gatefold vinyl. The announcement arrives alongside new single
'Cherry Bomb'.The project follows 'Death & Love Pt.1', released in January 2025, which documented frontman Kieran Shuddall's experiences after receiving news of a severely blocked heart artery in early 2023. Following surgery and a period of recovery that led to cancelled shows, Shuddall found himself in a prolific writing period.
The album was produced by Shuddall and recorded between a friend's studio in Finsbury Park and RAK studios in London. "This album feels like the more optimistic part of the two records," says Shuddall. "It almost feels like if the first record was before the operation and death and fear of dying, then one is coming through the other side. It's about love, life, survival and euphoria".
The band are marking the release with 'It's A Matter Of Death & Love', an album launch party at London's Signature Brew, Haggerston on 16th July.
