Thumper announce debut album ‘Delusions Of Grandeur’

THUMPER have announced their debut album!

Titled Delusions Of Grandeur, the upcoming album from the Irish noise-pop/alt-rock sextet is their debut full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via EMMS.

The upcoming debut intends to display plenty of homages to classic alt rock such as WEEZER, PIXIES or THE DANDY WARHOLS, it is also steeped in the influence of contemporaries such as VIAGRA BOYS, KING GIZZARD, SHAME and even IDLES at their most psychedelic. The album’s title refers to a struggle of self image, internal and external, and the existential maintenance that all of this implies. Frontman Leahy Furlong’s visceral and surreal lyrics obsess over the search for the ‘authentic self’ in a medium so steeped in pretentiousness.

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; Overbite. The new song is the first of three songs recorded and performed as one long piece.
