I Have A Tribe announces debut record Beneath A Yellow Moon, shares lead single "La Neige"

I Have A Tribe - aka Patrick O’Laoghaire - says that his record is partly inspired by his two-year-old niece's approach to the piano: “she sits at the piano and bangs the keys with her fingers or her toes and she sings and shouts the first notes that come into her head. There’s a lot to be said for that. Sometimes they’re the right ones. And even if they’re not - well at least she has a good laugh while she plays... the game was to play with abandon, like a kid”.

The upcoming long-player is produced by Paul Savage (Mogwai, Twilight Sad), and was recorded in Glasgow. Close friend and collaborator Dave Hedderman painted the cover art.

Beneath A Yellow Moon is released on 27 May via Grönland Records (Susanne Sundfor, Gang Of Four). It follows last year's No Countries EP.
