The Scratch have announced that their new album ‘Mind Yourself’ is set for release on November 3^rd, 2023 via Sony Music Ireland and have shared lead single ‘Trom II (A Slip In The Wind)’.

As well as connecting with a major label ‘Mind Yourself’ sees the group hooking up with internationally acclaimed artist James Vincent McMorrow as producer.

“myself, Jordo (guitar, lead vocals) and James McMorrow came back from the pub one night and started playing. It was one of those moments where somebody kicked things off and everyone fell into a groove behind it, we all just sat in it, enjoying a symbiotic moment together,” explains (cajón, percussion, lead vocals) of the album’s lead single.

“Trom II is a cool song for us because we’ve never been in a live-in studio situation where everything’s set up and ready to go. Working with the two James’ (James Vincent McMorrow, Producer, and James Eager, Engineer), introduces a new element to our music. There has never been room for a song like this before with us – when it comes to The Scratch, it’s a bit leftfield which makes it exciting, plus it feels like the right tune to introduce listeners to the many twists and turns this album takes.”
