SUDS Confirm New Album and Share New Single

East Anglian DIY emo group SUDS have confirmed their second album will be released later this year. Titled ‘Tell me about your day again,’ it will be released on 21st November via independent record label Big Scary Monsters. The announcement coincides with the release of a single called ‘Quietly feeling’.

The track captures the personal growth the quartet have been through over the past two years. With distance and grief being a key influence, ‘Quietly feeling’ captures the vulnerable and cathartic tone that ‘Tell me about your day again’ promises to offer. It sees vocalist Maisie Cater lamenting on loneliness. Despite its downbeat lyrical nature, ‘Quietly feeling’ maintains SUDS‘ whistful harmonies and tonal warmth.

SUDS drummer Jack Ames shares ‘Quietly feeling’ was a “turning point” during the making of the record. “It felt like we knew exactly where we were going with this next collection of songs. The song itself is really about being so in your head that you can’t communicate how you’re feeling, which is a relatively big theme throughout the entire album,” Ames explains. “The song was recorded with Ian Sadler at his studio in Whitstable, which is our home away from home, and originally never had the four-part harmony in the final chorus, but we spoke a lot about how much we wanted the four of our voices together as much as possible, and that part felt perfect.”

Completed by bassist Harry Mitchell and guitarist Dan Godfrey, SUDS‘ follow-up to 2023’s ‘The Great Overgrowth’ will contain the favourable traits such as their penchant for storytelling. However, it’s interlaced by personal challenges and the resilience of their friendship.

“‘Tell me about your day again.’ is a record about processing change. Some of these songs were written over a year ago, some a month or so before recording, but together it feels like a very cathartic collection of songs,” comments Jack. “As friends, we have been through a lot over the last 12 months and have used this sophomore record as a way to process, grieve and come together. We hope folks get a sense of not feeling alone when you listen to it.”
