Keo introduce their debut album 'Put A Smile On For Me' with new single 'That’s Me'
The new single offers a first taste of the forthcoming debut record.
Keo have announced their debut album 'Put A Smile On For Me', due for release on 25th September via Island Records, alongside a new single, 'That’s Me'.
The London four-piece's first full-length record follows last year's debut EP 'Siren'. Written and recorded over a ten-day period, the album was self-produced by frontman Finn Keogh and guitarist Jimmy Lanwern.
Leading the announcement is 'That’s Me', a grunge-leaning track that sees Keo tackle guilt, self-reflection and toxic behaviour. The song arrives with a video directed by long-time collaborator Hermione Sylvester.
“The weight of a secret can sometimes be heavier than the result of people knowing it,” says Finn. “I didn’t want to drag my guilt around any longer; I felt like I could finally let myself off the hook through writing ‘That’s Me.'"
Speaking about the album, Finn adds: “Put A Smile On For Me, honesty is uncomfortable. I don’t want to see your true colours and you don’t want to see mine. You smile, I’ll smile, everything is fine.”
Keo will support the release with a run of live dates across the UK, Europe and North America this summer, including appearances at Rock Werchter, TRNSMT, Latitude, Reading & Leeds, plus shows with Wolf Alice at London's Finsbury Park and Newcastle's Exhibition Park.
