Ash have made Annabel the second single from their new album Islands, which is due on May 18th.
If follow the lead track Buzzkill, of which Tim Wheeler said it took him ‘a while to stop laughing cos it’s so fun, dumb and full of unnecessary swearing’ after it was written. He continued:
“We used to know a band called Buzzkill in Belfast in the 90s and I think their name has been in my mind for all that time wanting to get into a song. Having seen The Undertones playing a couple of times recently I was guiltily thinking how much the backing vocals I’d written for Buzzkill were mimicking their style.”
Ash will tour the UK in October, playing shows in Sheffield, Glasgow, Bristol, Birmingham, Norwich, Manchester and London.
