Leeds art rock/post punk/ alt band Eades have announced the release of their second studio album ‘Final Sirens Call‘.
Along with the announcement the band have also aired the lead single “Did You Read The News?” and its accompanying video. The 11-track record will be out on September 18 via Breakfast Records. Pre-order your copy here.
For a long time, Eades were a band of heavy nights and distant days. Carving an unsteady line between classic post-punk and beer-drenched art rock, their debut 2022 album Delusion Spree embraced the hedonistic rattle of their hometown Leeds, each track humming with youthful anxiety and reinvention.
Now, with the arrival of Final Sirens Call, this growth is placed front and centre. Although its eleven tracks still hum with the same frenetic energy, the record sees the quintet dive ever deeper into their roots, finding a rare solace amidst the shifting earth. Each track speaks of a band fully in control of their future and willing to embrace the changing times.
Lead single ‘Did You Read The News?’; perfectly captures this spirit, its titular question becoming a way for lyricist O’Reilly to reflect on not only their disappearing self, but also their very identity as a musician and the socio-political anger that so often bubbled to the surface in their early work. The song highlights this new found creative freedom, an expansive, double drum kit led track that echoes the ‘wall of sound’ textures in classic 60’s recordings, replete with vintage reverb and orchestral flourishes.
