Brògeal have announced their debut album ‘Tuesday Paper Club’

Brògeal have announced their debut album ‘Tuesday Paper Club’, set for release via Play It Again Sam. The Scottish folk-punk-indie-pop five-piece have also shared the album’s title-track.

The album, recorded at Black Bay Studio on the Isle of Lewis – a refurbished fish processing factory – was produced by Richie Kennedy, known for his work with The Libertines, Cardinals, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, and others. The record features an array of traditional instruments including accordion, banjo, bouzouki, mandolin, and penny whistle, blending folk traditions with contemporary indie sensibilities.

Speaking about the title-track, frontman Daniel Harkins says, “I wrote ‘Tuesday Paper Club’ initially as a poem when I worked behind the bar at an old man’s boozer in Falkirk called the Wheatsheaf. It was a Tuesday and there was about 3 punters in, all sitting in silence reading the papers. So out of boredom this little poem came about and ended up being more about older people’s views on the young and how they can be so bitter about us as if they weren’t doing the same, if not worse when they were younger. I added some chords to it later and took it to the lads and it instantly became an absolute foot stomper and it’s one of our favourite songs to play live now.”

The album’s tracklist reads:

1. ‘Tuesday Paper Club’ 2. ‘Vicar Street Days’ 3. ‘Friday On My Mind’ 4. ‘Lady Madonna’ 5. ‘Turn And Walk Away’ 6. ‘Scarlett Red’ 7. ‘Dippin’ n Divin’ Wooer Street’ 8. ‘One For The Ditch’ 9. ‘Draw The Line’ 10. ‘Racing Track’ 11. ‘Apples And Leaves’ 12. ‘Stuck Inside’ 13. ‘Go Home To Your Bed’ 14. ‘Lonesome Boatman’
