Circa Waves have revealed their new single, 'Old Balloons'
Taken from their upcoming album 'Death & Love Pt.2', the band will perform a fundraising show for NHS services next month.
Liverpool indie band Circa Waves have introduced their latest single 'Old Balloons', a track that reflects on the experience of touring and the life left behind at home. The single is part of the second chapter of their upcoming album 'Death & Love Pt.2', which is to be released via Lower Third/[PIAS]. The full 18-track album is available for pre-order on CD and double gatefold vinyl.
Frontman Kieran Shudall explains, "'Old Balloons' is about being homesick on our first US tours. It’s the strange feeling of leaving home with the hope of "making it in America", but knowing that if you do you will be home even less."
Earlier this year, the band returned with the single 'Cherry Bomb'. 'Part one' of the album, 'Death & Love Pt.1', was released in January 2025 and marked a period of starting anew for Shudall after a serious health scare in early 2023. Following a diagnosis of a severely blocked main artery in his heart, Shudall underwent surgery and began adapting to a new way of life, leading to the cancellation of numerous shows and a period of personal reflection.
