Gigwise faves Another Sky have announced their debut album this evening. I Slept On The Floor is due for release pretty soon: you'll be able to hear the twelve-track LP in August. For now, get your ears around brand new single 'Fell In Love With The City'.

The supernatural, androgynous vocals of Catrin Vincent underpin what makes an Another Sky song an Another Sky song, and this new cut is no different. This is a voice that makes a Paean of every song it touches: on 'Fell In Love With The City', Vincent turns a break-up song into an invocation: an invite to better things.

Then you've got those warm walls of guitars holding everything together, building things up to towering heights. Like any Another Sky offering, it's guaranteed to dole out the goosebumps.

Previous releases 'Brave Face', 'Avalanche', 'The Cracks' and more will feature on the album, but there's a few new ones in the mix too. On the LP, Vincent commented: ‘I Slept On The Floor' is an amalgamation of the ever-shifting life I have shared with Another Sky over the last six years...I Slept On The Floor documents the childhood rejection we carry with us into adulthood. This album is about only understanding a place once you've left it."

This is a band who have charmed us ever since their first release back in 2018. They featured on our 29 for 2019 list too.
