Courting by Charlie Barclay Harris
It’ll be released by Courting on January 26th next year.
Courting have unveiled their next studio album New Last Name with its lead track Throw after studio sessions with Ryan and Gary Jarman of The Cribs on production duties.
“We had really enjoyed their debut LP Guitar Music – the knowing title and the freedom with which they were prepared to sabotage their melodies with noise really spoke to us,” Gary said.
But underneath all of that restless experimentalism and layers of chaos it was clear that there was some very sophisticated songwriting going on. So we were really excited to see how they approached their follow up LP. The recording of a second album can be the most consequential time in an artists career.
“Either the moment that their ability catches up with their enthusiasm and the real magic happens, or conversely the struggle to follow up on that first flush of inspiration (the dreaded sophomore slump). We knew as soon as we heard the demos that Courting were taking the step up to the next level.”
