This Is Everything You Need To Know About Fatherson’s New Album ‘Normal Fears’

It is all happening.

Fatherson have shared the details of their first album in three years.

It’s called ‘Normal Fears’ and will be released on February 22 via Easy Life.

Vocalist Ross Leighton had this to say about the album and its creation:

“Our aim was to drop our guard. Forget what we thought we knew about making music and just have fun. It was less about searching for a sound than trying out new ways of working. We were open to anything. Luckily, lockdown was ideal for this album. The separation gave us clarity. We’d send song parts to each other then each go away and work on them, trying out mad ideas we might not have suggested had we all been together.

“There was no pressure because no one knew when the world would open up again. We had the time to be creative and recapture the feeling we had when we first became a band, when there were no expectations of how Fatherson should sound.”

The artwork looks like this:

You can also check out their new single ‘Normal People’, a colourfully poetic slice of British rock loveliness.

Ross had this to say about the tune:

“There is a perspective in the song that is about falling in love and feeling like you’re the only two people in the world, looking out at everyone else. At that moment I had never been so sure of anything before, which was an amazing feeling. However, in all honesty it is kind of a bluff because I am a normal person riddled with fear.” 

You can also hear the previously released ‘End Of The World’:

The band have also released a short film called ‘Same Old, Brand New’, which the band have explained a little bit about:

“We wanted to do something special to announce our new album. The idea was to create something that could be shared all over the world, a celebration of the new music we’ve created with a nod to what has come before. ’Same Old, Brand New’ is just that. A collection of exclusive live performances presented as a short film that explores some of the concepts around the album and the world in general.”
