Raglans

0 - Default Title
Description
Highly anticipated debut LP from Dublin's Raglans, produced by Ivor Novello nominee Jay Reynolds (Elton John, Pulp, The Verve and mastered by Grammy award winning Brian Lucy (The Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys, Beck). It also features two tracks mixed by Cenzo Townsend (Florence and the Machine, Snow Patrol, The Kaiser Chiefs). Since forming, the four-piece have undergone a meteoric rise in popularity, rising from a crowd pleasing, gig-opening favourite at Dublin's Whelan's hotspot to garnering widespread recognition across the UK, supporting the likes of The Courteeners and HAIM. Overflowing with radio-friendly hooks, the album builds on the honed classics that have already cemented their popularity, most notably, fan favourites 'Natives' and 'Digging Holes,' both included. There's also the weightier post-punk homage in 'The Man From Glasgow' - about "The maddest, most notorious 70's Glaswegian promoter we've ever had the pleasure of meeting," says lead singer Stephen Kelly. And the grittier folk of forthcoming single 'Lady Roll Back The Years', about Stephen's humorous close-encounter with an older woman, who had "dastardly intentions." Out in February, it's a contrast to previous singles, highlighting the band's versatility as it dips into a raw jumpy style akin to The Libertines circa 'Up The Bracket'. Importantly, Raglans are not afraid to delve into even more polished anthemic sounds with soon-to-be festival favourite 'Not Now', as well as a newer version of the bands first ever demo, the addictive 'Down'. 'Raglans', as an LP, encompasses the grouped vocals of The Lumineers, the multi-intrumentalist efforts of Of Monsters And Men, whilst highlighting the substantial post-punk indie camaraderie of the early noughties. "It's folk, it's indie, it's revivalist blues," says Stephen.
