Hands up who misses the Richter Collective label? If you are feeling nostalgic about arguably the finest collection of independent music ever assembled on this island, then 2019 may well turn out to scratch that itch. They more eagle eyed among you may have already noticed that Jogging and Squarehead have been busy recording. One of Richter’s finest exponents, Bats are also on the way back. Dublin’s primo science themed math rockers Bats have recorded album number three and is due for release later this year. It’s titled ‘Alter Nature’ and the recorded with the multi-talented Rian Trench. Release date is not confirmed but tentatively for autumn 2019.

Bats had previously revealed on their Facebook page the song titles :

-Summoning The Demon
-Christian Science
-Ergot
-Dyson Sphere
-Old Hitler
-Family Planning
-In The Court Of The CRISPR King
-The Call of Cthulhu
-Current Affairs (Topsy Rides The Lightning)

Being an independent band, Bats have a Kickstarter campaign in place which is as of today 60% funded but has a few weeks left if you want to sign up for some of the goodies.
