Joey Bradbury and Rowan Martin – AKA – The Rhythm Method have announced their second album, Peachy, alongside the lead single, "Have A Go Heroes".

The Rhythm Method released their debut album in 2019 and, four years later, they today announce its follow-up, Peachy. They now return with a vastly different sound, and in their words a "cohesive masterpiece". The new album, produced by Bill Ryder-Jones and featuring Aoife Power of whenyoung, is the first time they have recorded music in a proper studio, and is influenced by a "desire to live up to one’s potential, making sure there’s no regrets on the deathbed" .

On new single Have A Go Heroes, the duo say: "After a gig in Hull in 2018, Rowan had a psychotic episode. Bad luck. He continued (against all medical advice) with a full UK tour. "Have A Go Heroes" is the result of that. It’s a collage of the British regional landscape: service stations, lonely hills, euphoric and murderous thoughts all in one."

With their beginnings in a Thameside squat protection scheme intended for professionals but inhabited by the barely-employed back in 2016, the duo turned a summer of FIFA tournaments, cosmic breakdowns and 4pm beers into a series of bizarre, outsider-music iPhone demos that became a SoundCloud account, then a band, then a live show - all of which amounted to their widely-praised 2019 debut album, How Would You Know I Was Lonely?.

Tracklist:

  1. Just A Boy's Game
  2. I Love My Television
  3. Nightmare
  4. Dean Martin
  5. Have A Go Heroes
  6. Curse
  7. Please Don't Die
  8. Peachy
  9. Black & Blue

The Rhythm Method's second album, Peachy, is set for release on 8 March via Moshi Moshi Records.
