Dublin trio Fangclub have announced the release of sophomore album ‘Vulture Culture’, alongside a string of headline dates across the UK and Europe this autumn.
The new album, which is set for release on July 5 via Vertigo Records, was recorded in a month-long stint at Giant Wafer Studios, in Wales.
“It comes off as a heavier record because I didn’t have time to hide the real stories,” says vocalist/guitarist Steven King. “It really captured something. The pressure added to it, like ‘that line’s pretty revealing but I have to put it down, I don’t have anything else’. We could’ve gone in and made another debut, this punk thing with loads of hooks, or I could back myself into a corner. It’s a strangely revealing and personal album but I don’t feel afraid to share it because it’s almost as if I’ve expelled the things.”
Pre-orders for ‘Vulture Culture’ are available now here, and tickets for their comprehensive UK tour – full dates listed below – are available here.
