After releasing their second album ‘Rituals’ in September, Fenech-Soler follow up with ‘In Our Blood’, the first release on new home So Recordings on November 25.
Listen to 'In Our Blood' here.
Making no secret of the fact ‘Rituals’ was a cathartic record to make – and at times both frustrating and a testing process – ‘In Our Blood’ soars above the dark album undertones with boundless energy, rousing hooks and commanding pop-orientated traits. A forthright track, ‘In Our Blood’ is bound together with defiant lyrics and rocketing production that sits alongside darker tracks on the album such as ‘Somebody’ and ‘Two Cities’.
The recording process for ‘Rituals’ took place in a multitude of locations over the course of 2012. It started with an initial writing session in a remote house in the hinterlands of Norfolk as the band decided to cut themselves off from the outer world. Tasks were then divided as members headed in different directions. Ben Duffy travelled solo to Italy to spend time writing whilst Andrew Lindsay, drummer and the production brains in the band, set about custom building a studio that would later become the central hub of the recording and production process. Further sessions in Massive Attack’s studio and remote locations in the West Country provided the settings where ‘Rituals’ would come to life.
Fenech-Soler are set to embark on a 12-date UK headline tour, culminating in their biggest London show to date at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
