Today's #tbt edition of the Dose features a band that brought us such great songs as "A Girl Called Johnny" "The Whole of the Moon" and "Fisherman's Blues" are still making great music.
Their new single is called "Here We Go Again"
Here's the info we got from Cooking Vinyl:
The Waterboys have dropped the trippy video for their new single ‘Here We Go Again’ - the third taste from their forthcoming new album, All Souls Hill, out May 6th on Cooking Vinyl.
The band has announced two very special U.S. dates at New York City’s Gramercy Theater on May 16th and Music Hall of Williamsburg on May 18th plus more US dates to be announced!
The album and shows follow 2020’s critically acclaimed full-length Good Luck Seeker.
‘Here We Go Again’ is a rousing singalong whose freshness belies the lyrical subject matter. “It's the idea we’re living through a communal Groundhog Day. We’re all looking at the news headlines, but nobody seems to learn the lessons,” Mike Scott said of the track. “As a culture we keep making the same mistakes. It’s a wry look at humans not being so smart – and yet I have good fun being one.”
All Souls Hill album is nine tracks of Waterboys brilliance, all mixed by Scott himself and co-produced with Simon Dine, who co-wrote and co-produced four critically acclaimed albums with Paul Weller. Announced off the back of the band’s recent sold out UK tour and box set ‘The Magnificent Seven: The Waterboys' Fisherman’s Blues/Room To Roam Band, 1989-1990’, All Souls Hill is current, on the money social commentary, but with an air of hope.
"The album All Souls Hill is mysterious, otherworldly, tune-banging and emotional.” comments Mike. “I made it with Waterboys old and new and my co-producer, brilliant sonic guru Simon Dine. Its nine songs tell stories, explore dreamscapes, and cast a cold but hopeful eye on the human drama."
