Circa Waves announce fourth studio album ‘Sad Happy’
The four-piece have also revealed that they’ll be heading out on a UK tour next year.
Continuing the theme of double-albums being the new “thing”, Circa Waves have announced that their forthcoming fourth studio album will also be split into two-parts.
Called ‘Sad Happy’, the “sad” part will be available on 10th January with the “happy” follow-up available from 13th March, and the group are sharing first track ‘Jacqueline’ to give a little glimpse into what we can expect.
“We live in a world split into two extreme halves,” Kieran Shudall explains. “One moment you’re filled with the existential crisis of climate doom and the next you’re distracted by another piece of inconsequential content that has you laughing aloud. I find this close proximity of immense sadness and happiness so jarring, bizarre and fascinating. Our brains rattle back and forth through emotions at such a rate that happiness and sadness no longer feel mutually exclusive. This idea was the blueprint for ‘Sad Happy’ and is the theme that underpins the album. Sad / Happy is written in my Liverpool home, it’s also hugely inspired by my surroundings and the love I have for the city. It runs through thoughts on mortality, love and observations of people.”
