Back in early 2023, Kieran Shudall received a call from doctors to say that the main artery in his heart was severely blocked. Two days later, he was lying on an operating table watching a wire being inserted into his heart to fix it. What followed was the cancelling of a lot of shows, working out a lot of medication, and most crucially, now having to navigate a new way of life.
And the results are quite simply stunning. Self-produced by Kieran, and engineered by Matt Wiggins (Adele, Lana Del Rey, Glass Animals), 'Death & Love' oozes nostalgia, and harks back to the sounds and themes that made Shudall want to pick up a guitar in the very first place.
'Death & Love' is an incredibly powerful snapshot in time - a reflection on a moment of true terror, and the joy of coming through the other side. It’s a brave and remarkable next step for a band in the finest form of their career.
