Augustines return with When Things Fall Apart, the new single taken from their upcoming album, This Is Your Life, on via Caroline International, on 10th June 2016. The group, fresh from their own sold out Electric Ballroom and Manchester shows, and dates with Noel Gallagher in Europe, will play selected festivals (including headlining Dot to Dot) over the summer. They will later return to the UK for a full headline tour that includes their biggest headline show to date, at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on 18th October.
Listen to When Things Fall Apart on Spotify and at Vevo.
Recorded in New Orleans and Los Angeles with long-time associate Peter Katis (The National, Interpol, Frightened Rabbit), This Is Your Life, the group’s third LP, follows 2014’s eponymous second album, the release of which was supported with expansive touring that culminated in a sold out headline date at London’s legendary Roundhouse (cap. 3300), a show that was filmed for use in an upcoming documentary about the band.
Ahead of the album’s release and the band’s recent shows, Augustines’ lead singer Billy McCarthy has also just completed a solo European tour, Journals, Maps, Stories and Songs, a mixture of (as its title suggests) autobiographical stories and songs from this charismatic and captivating frontman that was rightly hailed “a jaw-dropping, knockabout oddyssey” [The Independent *****”].
Augustines return to the UK for a major headline tour this October. Pre-sale tickets for the tour go on sale on Wednesday 4th May from 9am (general sale starts at 9am on Friday 6th May). Sign up or pre-order the album at weareaugustines.com for priority access.
