The Buoys Announce Sophomore Album ‘Concrete Cowboy’
Having just celebrated the two-year anniversary of their debut album, Lustre, The Buoys are back to do it all again with the announcement of their sophomore album, Concrete Cowboy.
Out on Friday October 23, the band celebrate with the announcement of The Concrete Cowboy Tour throughout October and their brand new single Welcome To My Brain, out now.
The exploration in Concrete Cowboy is seen within the eclectic sonic inspirations from Nile Rogers and The 1975, to HAIM and The Beths, as well as the lyrical revelations sparked by 80s cult classic films, Roman poetry, personal dream sequences and so much more. Featuring previous singles Bitch , Kill You Back and new single Welcome To My Brain, this new body of work stays true to what The Buoys do best, balancing the introspective storytelling moments, with the uncontained, gut punching rock they bring to every live show.
Speaking on the album announcement, the band share: “We were in the studio together when the phrase came to us: too many tabs open. That became the heartbeat of the record. Concrete Cowboy is about trying to keep pace with a world that never slows down, and what you find when you finally stop. Dreams, repressed memories, the blur between what’s real and what your mind has been quietly holding. We wanted to build a world around that feeling, one that lives in a surrealist dream state where those lines don’t just blur, they dissolve. We hope listeners find themselves inside it, so they can have a dance when it all feels a little too much.”
As one of Australia’s most beloved live bands, The Buoys will take Concrete Cowboy on the road throughout October. Fan club pre-sale kicks off at 10am AEST Monday July 20, with general sale following at 10am AEST Tuesday July 21. For further information on tickets, please head to www.thebuoysband.com/shows.
