LOVEBREAKERS have announced their debut album!

Titled Primary Colours, the upcoming album from the British powerpop band is their brand new full-length record and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Wiretap Records.

The band flew out to Los Angeles to record their debut full length record at Hurley Studios, in Costa Mesa, California with Davey Warsop [GREEN DAY, FOO FIGHTERS] as producer/engineer.

Speaking about the upcoming record, vocalist/guitarist Jack Perry says, “I think the record defines the word ‘hope’. It’s a social commentary of things which I have seen or situations I have been involved in, some positive and some pretty negative. The record celebrates a lot of different, yet relatable experiences which I have gone through from my late teens up until now. There are stories about going out with your friends, becoming a recluse, falling in love and starting a family. I think the fundamental message in all of these songs is that there is always a sign of hope. You always go through the bad things to get to the good. Although the lyrics are pretty straight forward, there is also a sense of sarcasm, which adds a little bit of my own personality into the story telling. The title track Primary Colours is an aspiration of wanting to be ‘better’. There’s always some element of our lives which we want to cure and this story narrates that. The song doesn’t pigeon hole exactly what this could be so that the listener can interpret their own ideas.”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, LOVEBREAKERS have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming record; Laura. The new music video was first premiered via Brooklyn Vegan.

Speaking about the song and its accompanying music video, bassist Christian O’Reilly says, “we first started working on this song back in 2017 & it started with the main riff that you hear throughout the song. Whenever we’d play it, we’d always refer to it as ’the Stranger Things song’ as I could imagine it being in the soundtrack to the Netflix show, Stranger Things. The feel of it, even from it’s earliest carnation was very 80s & I always had this image in my head that one day we’d have a video for the song & it would have blue, pink & purple lighting with a slight grit to it, the same sort of look that old 70’s & 80’s movies and tv shows have. Morgan who directed the video really helped bring that vision to life, he’s one of my oldest friends & super talented & we’ve worked with him before. We all trust him & he shared the vision too. The video feels timeless, like the song.”
