Hercules and Love Affair have announced their new album.
'Omnion' is set to be released on September 1 via Big Beat Records. The record's title track is a collaboration with Sharon Van Etten, which came about after frontman Andy Butler remixed Van Etten's Not Myself, her response to the Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting.
Discussing the collaboration, he said:
"I feel so blessed to have had Sharon Van Etten sing Omnion. She is an artist of incredible depth and authenticity and her voice is so inviting yet truly has a mystery about it. Those qualities rendered a beautiful interpretation of a song that is ultimately an appeal to the divine for help and healing. With such a generous spirit and kindness about her, she was a joy to work with.”
Van Etten also commented:
"This song is so vulnerable, but strong. Coming to terms with identity and finding community... It's a very important time to share in that sentiment. I really appreciate Andy reaching out to collaborate. His heart beats in his songs.”
The band are set to appear at festivals across the summer, including Festival No. 6 and Houghton Festival. Andy Butler will also be DJing at Boomtown Festival and Tramlines.
