Liverpool's indie powerhouse Circa Waves announce the second chapter of their 2025 album, 'Death & Love' via Lower Third/[PIAS]. From being well-received at press, to strong UK radio support, 'Death & Lov Pt. 1 was both terrifying and liberating to write, and is the first instalment of urgent, nine-track hits of cathartic guitar-pop, serving as a powerful coping mechanism to help process frontman Kieran Shudall's near-death experience. Both parts are set for physical release on the 24th of October 2025. The album sees supreme indie hits including a nice big slab of Strokes-y dancefloor destruction of 'Like You Did Before' to its first offering 'We Made It', as well as the extremely topical and longing 'American Dream'.
