Another Sky in session – original broadcast on John Kennedy’s ExPosure program over Radio X in London on March 2nd of this year.
Another Sky formed in London with their debut show in 2017 by Catrin Vincent, Max Doohan, Naomi Le Dune, and Jack Gilbert while they were all studying music. Vincent’s unique singing voice is often mentioned in reviews, including for their released their debut album, I Slept On the Floor, in 2020. They have followed their debut up with an EP, Music For Winter Vol. I, in 2021, and their second album, Beach Day, in 2024.
Their first public performance was at London’s St Pancras Old Church in 2017. For that performance and later ones, they performed in total darkness and then sometimes backlit with custom built lights, in an attempt to remain anonymous. By early 2019, they had started performing more conventionally.
In 2019, their song “The Cracks” was included in the soundtrack of the video game FIFA 20.
In early 2021, they told Dork magazine that they are working on volume two for Music for Winter and a second full-length album. They had hinted it was possible it could have been released in 2021 (as of September 2022, neither have been released), but also did not want to commit to a timeline.
In March 2022, they announced on their Twitter account that the band members agreed their second album was “finished and ready for mixing.”
On 12 April 2023, they released two new songs, “Psychopath” and “Watching Basinski”, their first since the Music for Winter, Vol. 1 EP. They also announced they have signed with Republic Records in the US.
On 1 March 2024, they released their sophomore album: Beach Day. They had announced its release on 28 November 2023 along with releasing their fourth single related to the new album, a B-side, “Aimee Caught A Moth”.
In connection with their second album release, here is their session as it was heard earlier this month.
Crank it up, enjoy and keep an eye on them – especially since they are touring and might just wind up in your town.
Also, fall by their website and grab goodies while you’re at it.
