overpass have announced their debut album ‘Elsewhere, Always’ with new single ‘Union Station’

Overpass are set to release their debut album ‘Elsewhere, Always’ on 5th June.

The Birmingham-based indie-rock band are teasing the release with new single ‘Union Station’, of which vocalist and guitarist Max Newbold shares, “‘Union Station’ started with hearing someone say ‘it’s a dog-eat-dog world’ like it was just normal.”

He continues, “That idea of life being one big competition freaked me out a bit. I never wanted to fight for jobs or houses or compare myself to everyone else. I’ve always romanticised train stations as the place you run to when you’ve mentally checked out, even if you’re doing it with a half-smile and a bit of self-awareness. It ties into the album as the first step into that theme: growing up clueless, making mistakes, and realising that not having it all figured out is fine.”

Recorded at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool with producer Rich Turvey, the album includes tracks co-written by Spector’s Fred Macpherson.

The band have confirmed several festival appearances throughout the summer, including:

15-16 Amsterdam, London Calling
