Songs for Somewhere Else

The recording for Songs For Somewhere Else commenced prior to the release of Over The Silvery Lake and captures the development of a band who had toured Europe in the winter of 2015/16, and went on to play coveted support slots with Teenage Fanclub, The Clientele, Wolf People and GospelbeacH, as well as Liverpools International Festival of Psychedelia. Joining founding members - songwriter, singer and guitarist Richard Olson (The See See, Eighteenth Day of May), Sam Ferman on bass and Paulie Cobra on drums - were contributions from now permanent members Patrick Ralla (Alan Tyler Show, Edwyn Collins) on guitars, keys and vocals, and Joe Harvey-White (pedal steel, dobro), bringing new perspectives to the bands work. With this album, The Hanging Stars usher the next phase of their musical development, with Olsons astute lyrical observations and honeyed vocals at the fore, backed by the bands creative musical arrangements. These arent just songs for somewhere else, they are songs for right here and right now. The perfect timeless antidote to these troubling times.
