THE MYSTERINES: New album Afraid of Tomorrows out this Friday

Merseyside alternative rock band The Mysterines are soon releasing their second album ‘Afraid of Tomorrows’, the highly-anticipated follow-up to their critically-acclaimed Top 10 debut album ‘Reeling’.  The album has a new release date, set for the 21st of June via Fiction Records.  In anticipation of the album the group has shared the lead single ‘Stray’, which premiered on BBC Radio 1 as Clara Amfo’s Hottest Record, as well as their singles ‘Sink Ya Teeth‘ and this week’s ‘The Last Dance‘.  The group are finishing their record store tour across the UK this week as well, which started at London’s Rough Trade East on the 11th of June and will be finishing at Glasow’s Assai on the 26th of June. 
 
Recorded and produced by Grammy Award-winning producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Angel Olsen) in LA, ‘Afraid of Tomorrows’ is a deeper and darker foray into The Mysterines’ psyche than its predecessor, and reflects the maturity and growth of the band, completed by George Favager (bass), Callum Thompson (guitar) and Paul Crilly (drums). “Afraid of Tomorrows is a mirror where you find you’re nothing more than a formless being, one made from celestial constellations – of traumas, of the old and new, mistakes, addiction, fear and happiness, loneliness, but ultimately a desire for life and the fight to keep living. It’s a collage of what’s been lost and of love unbounded”, says Lia.
 
Earlier this year The Mysterines played a UK leg touring as main support to Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes and have also been announced as special guests to Bloc Party for their huge 20th anniversary Crystal Palace Park show on 7th July.  The group are set to bring their electric live show to festivals all over Europe and the UK this summer, including Live at Leeds in the Park, 2000 Trees, Truck Festival and Tramlines, as well as on their largest to date Europe and UK headline tour this Autumn. See the live dates below.
