East London alt-pop outfit Post War Years have announced that their second album ‘Galapagos’ will hit shelves on February 25th.
Over the last twelve months Post War Years have been championed for their unique brand of rich and innovative melodies and irresistibly squelchy, electronic basslines. Following two critically acclaimed EP’s ‘Glass House’ and ‘The Bell’, the quarter have now announced the release date of ‘Galapagos’ – a vivid, emotive, and audacious second album, coming out on the 25th of February via Chess Club Records.
‘Galapagos’ has been produced by long-term collaborator James Rutledge (MGMT, Grizzly Bear, Late of The Pier, My Bloody Valentine, The Kills), and sees the band tapping into a new and rich stream of subversive and frequently delightful Avant-pop.
It’s partly an autobiographical account of the band’s less than perfect lives when first moving to London; financial struggles and claustrophobic living conditions fracturing their friendships and driving them to seek release through their music.
All of these experiences are reflected lyrically on ‘Galapagos’ through themes of existentialism and personal identity (‘All Eyes’ &‘Nova’), romantic retrospection (‘Glass House’ &‘Volcano’), evolution/atheism (‘The Bell’ & ‘God’ ) and escapism (‘Growl’). You can check out the full tracklisting below.
