The Wave Pictures have announced a new album and an accompanying UK tour.
'Brushes With Happiness' will arrive on June 22 and is the first of two albums that will be released by the London trio this year. According to the press release there were four steps to creating the new record:
Guitarist and vocalist Dave Tattersall didn't compose any music prior to recording, just lyrics.
Everything on the album is a first take.
They recorded the songs "drunk and high, late at night so as to be as relaxed as possible."
The tracks are predominantly in a minor key.
Speaking about it, Tattersall said:
“Listening to the album feels like being in a ceremony. It takes you to that place. This is music that emanates from one group of people in one place in space and time. Listening to it is like being let in on a secret.”

1. The Red Suitcase
2. Rise Up
3. Jim
