Weston-super-Mare's TOWNS have announced their long-awaited debut album 'Get By' will be released in June 2 thru Bristol's DIY label Howling Owl Records. The album will be available physically on limited vinyl and CD, as well as digitally from online retailers.
'Get By' was recorded in Bristol with friends and fellow label mates Dom Mitchison (Velcro Hooks) and mastered by Oliver Wilde, with additional help in the early stages by Hugo Bishop (Oliver Wilde). The album also features appearances from Robin Stewart (The Naturals), Dom Mitchison (Velcro Hooks) and Richard Clarke (Scarlett Rascal) on penultimate track 'Everyone's Out'. While the album artwork was taken by girlfriend and former member of GuMM Lily Cook.
The album sees childhood friends TOWNS create a spaced out suburban escapism that combines the experimental guitar sounds and DIY aesthetics of psych and shoegaze with the melodies of 60s and 90s guitar pop. Seeing the excitement of rock’n’roll as a way to escape the everyday humdrum of growing up in Weston-super-Mare, they believe in the beauty, glamour and power of ‘proper’ pop music.
