Cambridge band Grieving has announced their debut album ‘Everything Goes Right, All At Once’, its title representing a positive play on a quote from The Room where – instead – all at once everything goes wrong.
The band’s debut EP, released pre-pandemic, drew inspiration from the needling DC hardcore of classic Dischord, early emo and the anthemic indie-rock and punk of the late ’90s and early ’00s, garnered praise from the likes of Stereogum, Alt Press, The FADER, DIY and Upset. Four out of the five songs also received airplay on BBC Radio 1 or 6 by the likes of Huw Stephens, Dan P Carter and Tom Ravenscroft. Two of these tracks, ‘Ownership’, which received daytime radio play on 6 Music, and the live favourite ‘My Friend, The Ghost’, will also feature on the confirmed debut LP.
The 11-track record arrives on 15th March via By The Time It Gets Dark and was recorded in part by Matty Moon (Lonely The Brave, Spielbergs) at Half Ton Studios and with Bob Cooper (The Orielles, Nai Harvest, Self Defense Family) at his Crooked Rain Studios in Leeds.
The album is described as delivering insistent hooks and off-kilter power in equal measure – aggressive, unpredictable and full of sharp turns, with the band presenting a full-length paean to the wealth of music that birthed them.
In anticipation of the LP’s release, the band also treated fans to a new single, ‘Tarpaulin’ (hear it here), a song that bassist Jack Hurst attributes to: “personally approaching a sense of self-doubt and accepting that certainty in life is rarely exactly that”.
‘Everything Goes Right, All At Once’ is available to pre-order here.
