Somebody's Child have announced their largest UK and European headline tour to date, including their biggest show yet at London's KOKO.
The tour announcement follows the release of their second album '
When Youth Fades Away', which arrived on 28th March. The record was produced by Grammy Award-winner Peter Katis, known for his work with The National, Frightened Rabbit, and Death Cab for Cutie.
Frontman Cian Godfrey says of the album: "'When Youth Fades Away' came at the perfect time for us, and marks an important milestone in our creative journey. I always had the sense that we were 'finding ourselves' while writing it, yet despite our efforts we could and would never quite reach any conclusion. Just like trying to hold onto time, if only for a moment. This lack of resolution replicates life, in my opinion, where the silver lining lives in the meaniality of the everyday, always there, right in front of us. It will serve as my reminder to seek joy at every turn."
The band are currently embarking on a sold-out German tour, with summer festival appearances and their extensive autumn headline tour to follow.
