The result is \u003cem\u003eANNA\u003c\/em\u003e, a 66-minute wall of sound designed to listen to in its entirety - no shuffle, no skipping, no respite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album was forged through intense, hours-long jam sessions in a shed painted bright green: “We used to lock ourselves away for hours and hours and just jam until we liked something. This obsessive repetitiveness really shaped the music that we wrote from then onwards.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut on the 25th September through independent record label Polished Stone (\u003cstrong\u003ePearl2\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMoreish Idols\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePrayer Tech\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBeth Jones\u003c\/strong\u003e), the first taste of the record comes in the form of \u003cem\u003e‘Killakee’\u003c\/em\u003e - a track that hybridises the music the band grew up on like \u003cstrong\u003eKing Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard\u003c\/strong\u003e with the rolling power of \u003cstrong\u003eSWANS\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the energy of the band’s collective love for metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Killakee really encapsulates our energy as a group and how much we feed off each other while playing.” Says frontman and guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eFionn\u003c\/strong\u003e. “It’s named after a place in Ireland where we recorded, so it’s got a special place in a few of our hearts - with \u003cstrong\u003eAron\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eTom\u003c\/strong\u003e and I being of Irish descent. Getting to be in Ireland to catch such a seminal moment for us turned out to be really important and quite emotional”. Aron adds; “It’s a real gut-punch, so we wanted to release it first.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving laid waste to the stages of Wide Awake Festival, Green Man, Arctangent, Manchester Psych Festival and many festivals in Europe, including Left Of The Dial and Haldern Pop.
