Breaking a six year hiatus this summer – The Blood Choir – are overwhelmed to announce their sophomore album: Houses of the Sun.
Set for release on the 22nd June 2018, the long-awaited follow up to their 2012 debut No Windows to the Old World will see the pairing of Robin Maddicott and Joe Mountain reassume their joint moniker once more for the release.
Whilst the cult band have been dropping hints of the possibility of a new body of work to fans for some time, the only material to have emerged so far has been cerebral teaser track ‘Switching off the Perfume Garden’, a track championed by BBC 6 Music’s Tom Robinson following its radio premiere as ‘something rather special’.
Confirmed to appear on the forthcoming Houses of the Sun, you can watch the video for first cut, Switching off the Perfume Garden below!
In anticipation of the new release, the duo are also pleased to announce a run of UK tour dates taking place throughout May, with confirmed appearances in Bristol, London, Cardiff, Bath and more – full dates and details below.
