The Sherlocks announce second album this October + autumn tour

Words: Ellie Ward

The Sherlocks have announced the follow up to their 2017 debut album ‘Live For The Moment’. The Sheffield quartet will release ‘Under Your Sky’ on October 4 on Infectious Music.

While ‘Live For The Moment’remains a scintillating insight into the hedonism and heartbreak of youth, ‘Under Your Sky’ finds frontman Kiaran Crook writing songs which bridge the exuberance of youth with the reflection and maturity of young adulthood. You can hear this in the album’s lead single ‘NYC (Sing It Loud)’, which received its exclusive first play earlier tonight (June 17) on Annie Mac's Radio 1 show.

“It was the first proper American tour we’d done and I was blown away by the place,” explains Crook. “The other side was wishing certain people could be there to see it with me. When you know people are at home and you’re having such a good time, you think, ‘If you could see what I’m seeing.’ Even though I’m in New York, I’m still thinking about people at home who I wish could see New York who have never been and may never go.”

Now available to pre-order, ‘Under Your Sky’ will be released on digital, streaming, CD, vinyl and cassette formats, plus a limited edition galaxy blue vinyl with alternative artwork. Fans who pre-order the album from The Sherlocks’ official store will gain access to a pre-sale for tickets for the band’s upcoming headline tour. The pre-sale opens at 9am tomorrow, Wednesday, and closes when the general sale commences at 9am on Friday.
