Silverbacks have announced details of their second album ‘Archive Material’ set for release on January 21st 2022 via Full Time Hobby. News of the album is accompanied by the album’s title-track.

“The initial demo version started from a drum sample taken from the opening of Jean-Pierre Massiera’s “Bonne Annee”. When we fleshed it out as a full band and Gary gave the track his usual kick up the arse, the song went full Les Baxter exotica mode. When writing the lyrics, I imagined a bunch of government officials in the deep underground of their building digging into archives. As the night continues, they get unusually aroused by the access they have to top secret information that the common folk never see,” says singer Daniel O’Kelly of the follow-up to last month’s single Wear My Medals.

Pre-order ‘Archive Material’ here, including a very special Dinked edition of the record featuring alternative sleeve art, a bonus 7”, clear vinyl and a lyric insert. Silverbacks kick off a series of live dates across Ireland and the UK in Limerick’s Kasbah Social Club on October 21st before hitting The Grand Social on October 22nd. Full tour dates below.
