Cork indie-rockers Waiting Room will finally return to the fold to launch the eagerly anticipated (and much delayed) follow-up to 2004s excellent Catering for Headphones. This one-time deal is the last chance for fans of the band to see the original line-up, the group having reformed especially for the launch of Battle Lines Are Gently Drawn.
The group, once touted as having serious potential to make a substantial breakthrough following the release of Catering for Headphones, some well received festival appearances and a national tour with the Frames, sadly disbanded leaving the follow up album, recorded in France’s famed Black Box studios, under the astute guidance of Dave Odlum (formerly of The Frames and Kila and producer of records by Mic Christopher, Gemma Hayes and dUES among others), to linger in obscurity.
Thankfully, two years after recording, BLAGD is set to finally be unveiled and, yes, the results were worth waiting for. Sounding bigger and more ambitious then their much lauded debut, BLAGD is a fine amalgamation of soaring, twisted bittersweet melodies, lush guitar-led instrumentation, epic post-rock swells, skeletal low-key indie torch-songs, atmospheric sounds and smart time signatures. The wait is finally over. corkindependent
