William McCarthy at Leeds Stylus on Augustines’ farewell UK tour (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Augustines frontman William McCarthy has announced the release of a new album Wild Eyes in four parts starting here with The Bloodline EP.
“My new album is called Wild Eyes,” he explains on social media. “The title is based on a boat that was found in the South Pacific that a teenage girl abandoned trying to sail around the world. I related to her journey greatly and decided to try to capture that in my new record.”
“This week would have seen me on tour in Ireland and I’ve had to improvise a bit so I’ve decided to release the album in four separate EPs so I can make short films about each song.”
“I’m releasing this album independently on Bandcamp and it will not be on Spotify anytime soon. They don’t pay us and we got to forge a new path for the creative community that has been crippled in these times. We all could use some music and warmth so thank you for supporting that.”
