Bicurious announce new album ‘Your Life Is Over Now…’
BICURIOUS have announced a new album!
Titled Your Life Is Over Now…, the upcoming album from the Dublin/Leipzig-based post-rock band is the follow-up to 2021’s self-titled album, and is scheduled to be released in October this year via their new home at Big Scary Monsters.
Speaking about signing with Big Scary Monsters, drummer Gavin Purcell says, “we’ve released all of our music independently (with the help of Narrow Door Records) up until now, but this time we felt like the songs deserved to be pushed further. After having a few conversations with various labels, we started talking to Kev and Josie at BSM, and got the right feeling straight away. We’ve tried to build our network from the start by surrounding ourselves with people we trust and who truly believe in the project – Big Scary Monsters turned out to be just that and more. It’s also very cool to be on a label which is home to some of our favourite artists such as JAMIE LENMAN, DELTA SLEEP, LAURA JANE GRACE and ALPHA MALE TEA PARTY.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, BICURIOUS have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Acrylic Fences. Speaking about the new song, guitarist/vocalist Taran Plouzané says, “I think this is the best song we’ve ever written, and it has a very special place in my heart. For me it has everything – groove, raw emotion, riffs, everything. Thematically, the Acrylic Fences refer to the walls that one can build around them in a relationship, and how narrow-minded one can become trying to break those walls down. As this is our first fully sung release, it’s really interesting to me how people might react to it, and whether the words can hit listeners for them to relate in their own way.”
Drummer Gavin Purcell adds, “from what I remember, the main tom groove first came about the day after we saw JAMIE LENMAN at StrangeForms Festival last year. Our set was the following day, and we booked a rehearsal room that morning to freshen things up. We ended up jamming, and from seeing JAMIE LENMAN the night before, I naturally got inspired by the slightly swung groove of his song Hardbeat, which is a personal favourite of mine.”
