Black Feelings announce details of self-titled debut for Alien8 Recordings

Montreal – Black Feelings are set to release their self-titled debut album on Montreal’s Alien8 Recordings on October 14th. Seven songs on the eight-track album were recorded and mixed by Mark Lawson (Arcade Fire, Final Fantasy, The Unicorns) and will be available on CD, vinyl and as a digital download. The recording is adorned with beautiful artwork courtesy of ex-Aids Wolf guitarist Chris Taylor

Black Feelings are the essence of a power trio: each member of the three-piece exhibiting a great deal of power while the whole remains balanced. Consisting of two former members of Montreal’s Les Angles Morts, the band has developed a unique hybrid of the British post punk and experimental scenes that spawned the likes of This Heat, Gang of Four and the Pop Group with heavy traces of psychedelic-goth and cold wave. Like American band The Liars, Black Feelings’ penchant for combining a variety of influences to conjure up a sound that is both retro and vitally fresh at the same time. The band’s main vocalist and drummer Owain Lawson is kept busy as he sings and holds down the rhythm section alongside fellow founding member and bassist Brian Mitchell. The sound is rounded out with shimmering guitar and synth flourishes provided by Kyle Fostner.

In their two years of existence Black Feelings have managed a couple of tours of the Eastern U.S. as well as an Eastern Canadian tour in support of Tyvek. During this time they have managed to release a cassette as well as 7” single and have another 45 rpm on the way via UK label We Be Records.
