Post War Glamour Girls are back with a new album, ‘Swan Songs’, due for release on 21st April via Hide & Seek Records. Check out lead single ‘Chipper’ below, first on Dork.
‘Swan Songs’ – the follow up to 2015’s ‘Feeling Strange’ and 2014 debut ‘Pink Fur’ – isn’t afraid to tackle difficult subjects, touching on themes of stress, anxiety, depression, the class system, religion, war and government.
It was recorded in the remote village of Skerray on the North Coast of Scotland, with producers Jamie Lockhart and Lee Smith of Greenmount Studios.
“We decided with this album that we wanted to get lost during the recording process,” explains frontman and lyricist James Smith. “To let it consume us entirely throughout. No distractions from our day to day lives. No dashing mid-take to get to work on time. No phone calls from our landlords. No other commitments. Just two solid weeks of living it.”
“This record is the product of the band’s dependence on each other in isolation,” he adds. “It is a record of peace, love and understanding.”
