"the Bee Gees on diazepam" that's how they describe themselves on their soundcloud page. Following the release of single 'Utmost Good' last june and a string of festival appearances during the summer, All We Are announced their eponymous debut album.
All We Are are made up of Ireland’s Richard 'O Flynn (drums, vocals), Norway’s Guro Gikling (bass, vocals) and Brazil’s Luis Santos (guitar, vocals), who met at university in Liverpool. Inspired by a shared love of hip-hop and soul music, Guro calls their sound “psychedelic boogie”. A total democracy, the band write all music and lyrics together.
Written initially in a cabin in the isolated Norwegian mountains, with follow-up sessions in a secluded cottage in North Wales, the album was finished and perfected in their studio in a disused school in Liverpool. The record was then recorded in London with producer Dan Carey (Bat For Lashes, M.I.A, Hot Chip).
Saw them supporting Jungle, very good. Looking forward to this as actual releases have been a bit sparse. Still waiting for my Bandcamp 7″ if you’re reading guys ;)
