NEW ALBUM AFRAID OF TOMORROWS
OUT 21ST JUNE VIA FICTION RECORDS
PRE-ORDER HERE
Merseyside alternative rock band The Mysterines are soon releasing their second album ‘Afraid of Tomorrows’, the highly-anticipated follow up to their critically-acclaimed Top 10 debut album ‘Reeling’. The album has a new release date, set for the 21st June via Fiction Records. In anticipation for the album the group have shared the lead single ‘Stray’, which premiered on BBC Radio 1 as Clara Amfo’s Hottest Record and their latest single ‘Sink Ya Teeth’. The group are heading out on a record store tour across the UK this June as well, from London’s Rough Trade East on the 11th June to Glasow’s Assai on the 26th June.
Recorded and produced by Grammy Award winning producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Angel Olsen) in LA, ‘Afraid of Tomorrows’ is a deeper and darker foray into The Mysterines’ psyche than its predecessor, and reflects the maturity and growth of the band, completed by George Favager (bass), Callum Thompson (guitar) and Paul Crilly (drums). “Afraid of Tomorrows is a mirror where you find you’re nothing more than a formless being, one made from celestial constellations – of traumas, of the old and new, mistakes, addiction, fear and happiness, loneliness, but ultimately a desire for life and the fight to keep living. It’s a collage of what’s been lost and of love unbounded”, says Lia.
