The Early Years: new album finished

Posted by Flick in Uncategorized on 04 27th, 2007 | no responses |

The Early Years have finished recording new material, and updated fans today with details of upcoming shows. "We're emerging from our Hackney Studio with a host of exciting events." The band has a new bass player, Brendan Kersey, who "has been helping us out since the Latitude festival last summer." They wrote that it "seems like a logical time to induct Brendan into the band."

The band has eight shows in the UK lined up in May, several of them with Electrelane. They're also performing as The Early Years DJ set, with live remixes. This leaves speculation over the band's new material, if it will continue in the direction of their layered guitar effects, or if it will be mostly remixes. Their update also shared, "We're hoping to do an Engineers remix at some point this year."

The latest The Early Years release was The Great Awakening EP, a four track album that came out February 19 on Beggars Banquet. In 2006 the band showed their proficiency in writing and recording by releasing two EPs and their debut full-length. With a release in February and a fresh stack of tracks, 2006 points to another accomplished year.
