Releasing their fifth album, ‘On a Golden Shore’, this Friday 8th March 2024 via Loose Music, the band will hitting the road in support of a record which has already received rave-reviews from the likes of MOJO (4*), Shindig (4*) and Uncut (7/10).
The tour announcement follows the release of recent single “Sweet Light”, a glorious onslaught of blissed-out electric guitars and wide-screen pedal steel. Sitting somewhere between a countrified Lou Reed and more contemporary acts like Kurt Vile and Allah-Las, this Ralla/Olson composition is a yearning anthem to a love once lost. The accompanying video is part-inspired by the British kitchen sink dramas of the 60s: picture a smoky nightclub situation, cigarettes tracing ladders, a band blowing Dixie – only filmed on a cold December morning at the bands’ HQ, The Betsey Trotwood pub in Clerkenwell, London.
