Circa Waves return to announce forthcoming album, Death & Love Pt.1

Death & Love Pt.1 serves as a powerful coping mechanism to help process frontman Kieran Shudall’s near-death experience.Back in early 2023, Kieran 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.

“I needed this record to process what I went through. A letter to tell myself I would stick around,” he explains. “Most of all, I wanted to make a record for me, with music I love and hopefully music to make kids in their bedroom pick up a guitar and believe they can take on the fucking world.”

The forthcoming album is set to follow like 2017’s, Different Creatures, 2019’s What’s It Like Over There?, 2020's Sad Happy and their latest, Never Going Under, which was released last year.

Circa Waves will return to the road in February and March next year, embarking on their biggest UK headline tour yet. Across 12 dates, their tour includes a night at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on 26 March, and a hometown show at Liverpool’s Olympia on 1 March.
