Trudy & The Romance announce debut album 'Sandman'

Trudy & The Romance have announced their debut album! The long-time DIY faves will release ‘Sandman’ on 24th May, and have today revealed its first single, ‘The Original Doo-Wop Spacemen’.

Vocalist Olly explains a little about the new track: “We directed this like a blockbuster, with characters and a story. We worked with a pianist, 1940s Disney choir, county pedal steel guitar player, film score violinist and harpist.It’s heart-warming and gently creeps up on you. It’s not tugging but just kind-of-there; Alligator Rock’n’roll!”

The band are set to play this year’s SXSW in Austin, Texas before heading out on a UK headline tour around the album’s release.

View the (truly brilliant) artwork for ‘Sandman’, view the tour dates, listen to ‘The Original Doo-Wop Spacemen’ and read our Q&A with the band about all of the above…below!
