Turning heads with their epic indie pop, Red Rum Club are to release a string of acoustic tracks from both albums, kicking off with ‘Eleanor’.
Known for the band’s dancefloor-filling sound, the Liverpool six-piece have hit the chill out room as they announce The Hollow Sessions is coming April 30th- acoustic tracks drawn from their first two albums, The Hollow Of Humdrum and Matador.
As ‘Eleanor’ made the BBC Radio 2 Playlist back in July, it quickly became the most Shazamed track in the UK that month as listeners couldn’t get enough of its happy, summery ode.
Originally intended to be the hands-high anthem for last year’s festival fields, the song instead poured into the public’s homes and hearts with its peppy message of love when times get hard.
Fran Doran, the band’s frontman, says: “It’s been a rollercoaster for us all and while the ride still isn’t over, we’re all hoping for the best and hope more than anything that we’ll be on stage again by late summer.
“Between now and then, The Hollow Sessions presents new versions of the songs we’re really proud of, but we’re not done there. The only way can be up, can’t it?”
The Hollow Of Humdrum, released October 2020, found the band coming off the back of a long year of UK and European touring and heading straight to the studio to create, by their own admission, a more mature and varied follow up to their 2019 debut, Matador.
The Hollow Sessions will be released digitally via Modern Sky on Friday, April 30th – pre-save here – with the band hitting the road again this summer with their pushed back support tour with Circa Waves, festival stages and Red Rum Club’s own UK Tour. See full dates below.
