Silverbacks announce new album ‘Archive Material’

Check out the title track now!

Following the release of debut album ‘Fad’ last year, Dublin’s Silverbacks have announced that their new album, ‘Archive Material’, will be released on 21st January via Full Time Hobby.

Releasing the title track alongside the news, vocalist and guitarist Daniel O’Kelly says, “The initial demo version started from a drum sample taken from the opening of Jean-Pierre Massiera’s “Bonne Annee”. When we fleshed it out as a full band and Gary gave the track his usual kick up the arse, the song went full Les Baxter exotica mode.

“When writing the lyrics, I imagined a bunch of government officials in the deep underground of their building digging into archives. As the night continues, they get unusually aroused by the access they have to top secret information that the common folk never see.”

Check it out below.
