Brooklyn indie rock band Foyer Red announce debut album 'Yarn the Hours Away'
Brooklyn indie rock band Foyer Red will unveil their debut album this spring.
Announced today, the band’s debut album Yarn the Hours Away will be released on May 19 via Carpark Records. To celebrate the announcement, the band unveiled their new single "Plumbers Unite!,” which comes with a music video directed by Leif Morton. The visual can be seen below.
Singer Elana Riordan said this about the song, which is inspired by video games:
"My first few lines in this song reference a predetermined goal and the act of running in place; it places the character in a side-scroller video game. It’s the everyday grind taken literally but augmented in the context of a game with objectives, points, a finite amount of lives, etc. When the day is done however, the protagonist exits the simulation and ponders the sentience of the console, feeling strange about the possibility after several hours of manipulation.
When I was little I was obsessed with my gamecube, but after entering cheat codes on my Harvest Moon game, I felt sooooooo guilty. I impulsively deleted my game data and later had recurring nightmares about my gamecube’s anger towards me, something I knew was unrealistic but felt so creepy and real."
Pre-orders for Yarn the Hours Away can be made here.
Foyer Red will head out on tour next month, which features an appearance at SXSW. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.
