Limerick (Ireland)-based new wave/post-punk band His Father's Voice will release this Friday (6 September) via Blowtorch Records their debut album Black Poison Morning. His Father's Voice delivers a brooding yet purposeful sound with soaring pop melodies, muscular rhythms, and immersive guitars. The band comprise singer/guitarist Ash O'Connor, lead guitarist James Reidy, and rhythm section of Laya Meabhdh Kenny on bass and Cian McGuirk on drums.
The band comments: "The album title was inspired by a quote from Kevin Barry's short story 'Across the Rooftops'. The story sits in hesitance and awkwardness, delivered with such familiar phrasing within such a familiar setting to that of our own. For us, this totally resonated with the challenges the album grapples with and tries to grow and learn from."
The album was recorded and mixed by Micheál Keating and co-produced by Micheál and the band in The Den, Co. Limerick. Mastered is done by Dan Coutant. The artwork was done by Laya Meabhdh Kenny and Hugh Heffernan. Three tracks are now available for streaming.
