SOMEBODY'S CHILD - When Youth Fades Away - CD [MAR 28]

CD 

Following the breakout success of their self-titled debut album in 2023, Dublin’s Somebody’s Child - the project led by Cian Godfrey - return with a bold new chapter in their musical journey. Their highly anticipated sophomore album 'When Youth Fades Away', is set for release on March 28th, 2025, via Frenchkiss Records. Recorded in the US with by Grammy Award-winner Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Frightened Rabbit), 'When Youth Fades Away' showcases a leap in maturity, both musically and thematically, for the band. Frontman Cian Godfrey describes the album as a reflection on the inevitable process of ageing and the shifting perspectives that come with it. When Youth Fades Away explores a new range of emotional and sonic territory, from the synth-driven experimentation of the title track, to the introspective, stripped-back vulnerability of "Irish Goodbye." Drawing influences from early electronic pioneers Kraftwerk (whose use of technology became a north star for the band) and the personal lyricism of Leonard Cohen, the album is indicative of the band pushing beyond indie rock conventions into new creative ground. The record features additional keyboard instrumentation by The Gloaming member Thomas Bartlett (Doveman).
