Last night Gallows’ new album ‘Desolation Sounds’ was announced on the Radio 1 Rock Show with Dan P. Carter. He also played their new single ‘Bonfire Season’ twice. Check out the video for the single below:
‘Desolation Sounds’ is released April 13th on Venn/Play It Again Sam Records. Gallows founding member Laurent ‘Lags’ Barnard says it’s “the record I’ve dreamt about making.”
“I think the album sounds really fearless,” the guitarist continues. “It’s the sound of a band that’s comfortable with playing music together, rather than trying to fit into a certain scene or zeitgeist or any preconceived notion of what the band should be. We just ignored the outside music world and made an album that felt good in our guts.”
Prior to the album’s release the band will issue a new single ‘Bonfire Season’ as a digital download and 7” vinyl.
“Bonfire Season began as an ode to the amazing Siouxsie and the Banshees,” explains Laurent. “I’ve always been a fan of that slightly gothic, dark style of punk and felt it was the time for Gallows to explore that style of music. The verses still have that old school boot stomp feel but combined with atmospheric noises providing menacing undertones. “
