Anavae announce debut album ’45’

ANAVAE have announced their debut album!

Titled 45, the upcoming album from the London duo is their debut full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in November this year!

The record is an assured foot forward from the London-based duo who have spent some time honing their craft, resulting in a genreless collection of innovative yet supremely catchy tracks that meld searing riffs and electronic nuance with arena-sized hooks.

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the duo have released a new music for a new song from the upcoming album; titled Not Enough.

“This was supposed to be the last song I would ever write,” says guitarist and musical mastermind Jamie Finch of the new track. “We were half way through writing the album and sat down with Pete [Miles, producer] to go through the 50+ demos we had put together to form the rest of the album. We listened to every single one of them…and I suddenly realised that I had grown to completely hate the music I was writing and that maybe I wasn’t ready to be doing an album after all. It was a long, crappy drive back to London after that revelation. After being home for a couple weeks, I had given up on music. But I just wanted to get one last idea that had been in my head for a few years recorded and out of the way. I felt like once I had done that, I could move on and leave my music days behind me. That idea was the first minute or so of Not Enough. The lyrics that Becca [Need-Menear, vocals] came up with resonated very strongly with me – so I knew I had to stop moping around and finish the track. Getting Not Enough finished in the studio with Pete then spawned a bunch of ideas for other tracks I wanted to have on the album (Human, Skeleton and Shy Girls)… so it’ll always be the most important song that I’ll have written.”
