Boston Manor announce new album ‘Welcome To The Neighbourhood’
BOSTON MANOR have announced a brand new album!
The album, titled Welcome To The Neighbourhood, is the band’s second album and was produced by Mike Sapone (TAKING BACK SUNDAY, MAYDAY PARADE, PUBLIC ENEMY), and is scheduled for release in September. Speaking about the album’s themes, vocalist Henry Cox says, “I’m just trying to draw attention to a few issues. The things that are important to my generation are just so trivial in my eyes, but who am I to say? I can’t really offer any immediate solutions, but I can try to throw a bucket of cold water on some of my peers, to just get them to feel more and think more and not be so apathetic.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have also released the first single, titled Halo. Speaking about the track, Henry Cox says, “Halo almost got scrapped & didn’t make the album. It was a totally different song, much slower and moodier. About a month before we went into the studio we reworked it entirely & it morphed into this current incarnation. It’s a song about feeling trapped; being in a vicious cycle & not knowing if there’ll ever be a way out.”
