Augustines frontman William McCarthy has digitally released his debut solo album Shelter.

Accompanying the record is a heartfelt look-back on the past year in McCarthy’s life, from the end of Augustines, his relocation to Germany and the inspirations behind this LP.

“The truth is it ain’t easy to rise,” he concludes. “It happens from a place deep within and it takes time. And amidst a year fraught with setbacks and heartbreak, there is sun making its way towards us even if it feels far away.”

“It is an honor to know all of you and have your support, and after demoing and recording it more than 5 times over the last 7 years, the opening track is the song I’m the most proud of because we and I never gave up. The irony makes me smile.”

“This is my record Shelter from me to you and I encourage you to share it, make it active and show this odd and sometimes cruel world that we don’t break.”
