Super Furry Animals songwriter, vocalist, keyboard player and producer Cian Ciaran, reveals details of his second, politically charged album following 2012’s debut solo release, Outside In.
They Are Nothing Without Us will be released simultaneously on vinyl, CD and digital formats. An early pre-release date has been pencilled in to give Ciarán’s supporters a chance to hear the album two weeks earlier than those picking up the record from shops. Along with the opportunity to track the progress of the album and grab a limited edition t-shirt or poster anyone ordering the album via the Pledge Music site (www.pledgemusic.com/projects/cianciaran) can expect to receive their copy on Monday 9th September 2013.
Cian Ciarán, one fifth and founding member of the legendary alternative rock/pop band Super Furry Animals will release his second solo offering, titled They Are Nothing Without Us on Monday 23rd September 2013. This self-produced album follows 2012’s surprise debut, Outside In and promises a more aggressive sound and hard-hitting lyrics.
They Are Nothing Without Us finds Ciarán toying with musical ideas to excite fans of Super Furry Animals, but strips away the romantic overtures of his debut in favour of uncompromising anti-greed, anti-corruption and anti-establishment messages. Rage at a political system that allows commercial interests to govern social, economic and environmental policy is wrapped up in a record that weaves incandescent, scathing lyrics amongst mean guitar riffs and the same, lavishly layered vocals that marked out his first solo effort.
