Circa Waves today release their second album ‘Different Creatures’, on Virgin EMI.
Co-produced by Alan Moulder (Foals, Arctic Monkeys, Smashing Pumpkins), ‘Different Creatures’ is the grittier, ‘night time’ counterpart to the breezy summer vibes of its Top 10 predecessor ‘Young Chasers’, exuding a newfound swagger. Shaped by Kieran’s perceptive songwriting ability to reflect the changes he sees in the world, ‘Different Creatures’ showcases a disenchantment with the world he sees, a louder and more vital band, nudging their sonic palette into a territory shared with rock heavyweights such as Arctic Monkeys and Queens Of The Stone Age.
2017 is gearing up to be a career defining year for the Liverpool four-piece. ‘Different Creatures’ has already birthed two A list Radio 1 records, ‘Wake Up’ and ‘Fire That Burns’, with the latter’s video starring SAG Award-nominee Isaac Hempstead Wright, best known as Bran Stark in Game Of Thrones. Circa Waves continue along their heavier, grittier new path, shattering the boundaries of everything we’ve come to expect from them.
The band will be heading out doing in-store signings in support of ‘Different Creatures’ throughout the UK, starting in Glasgow tonight. Following on from this they’ll be going out on a headline run of dates, including London’s Kentish Town Forum on 31st March.
