THE WATERBOYS UNVEIL POWERFUL IMAGERY IN VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “ALL SOULS HILL”
THE TITLE TRACK FROM THEIR BRAND NEW RECORD OUT MAY 6 ON PHEROMONE RECORDS/COOKING VINYL
The Waterboys have dropped another compelling video for new single “All Souls Hill” – the title track to their new album out May 6th on Pheromone Recordings/Cooking Vinyl and which follows 2020βs critically acclaimed Good Luck, Seeker.
The back end of 2021 saw the new albumβs first offering “The Liar”, a descriptive swipe at political charlatanry and “All Souls Hill” delivers another punch to the gut, featuring haunting classical imagery from the New York Public Library’s archive, each painting illustrating a couplet from the incredible lyric of this string-led upbeat masterpiece. Watch here.
Mike Scott: “‘All Souls Hill’ is a fast-forward blast through human history, from mythical beginnings to coruscating present, set to a pychodramatic soundscape.”
All Souls Hill album is nine tracks of Waterboys brilliance, all mixed by Scott himself. Announced off the back of the bandβs recent sold out UK tour and box set The Magnificent Seven: The Waterboys’ Fishermanβs Blues/Room To Roam Band, 1989-1990 β, All Souls Hill is current, on the money social commentary, but with an air of hope.
“The album All Souls Hill is mysterious, otherworldly, tune-banging and emotional.β comments Mike. βI made it with Waterboys old and new and my co-producer, brilliant sonic guru Simon Dine. Its nine songs tell stories, explore dreamscapes, and cast a cold but hopeful eye on the human drama.”
The Waterboysβ phenomenal last record, their 14th studio album Good Luck, Seeker, was released last year to widespread acclaim from fans and critics alike.
