Delays new album and tour dates

By | Published on Friday 23 April 2010

Delays have announced that they will release a new album, entitled ‘Star Tiger, Star Ariel’, on 21 Jun via Lookout Mountain Records. The first single, ‘Unsung’, will be released a week earlier.

You can download the album’s opening track, ‘Find A New Home (New Forest Shaker)’, from the band’s website now: www.thedelays.co.uk

Explaining the album’s sound, frontman Greg Gilbert told CMU: “The first album sounded like the sun, the second album like a club, ‘Everything’s The Rush’ was a festival, but this album sounds like roots beneath the city shaking the buildings at night. This record is about being lost, and the dream of being found. It is our most personal record, and, more than anything, is a soundscape for our home”.
