The Slow Readers Club tour dates to showcase album
It won’t be long before audiences will be able to experience the unmissable live shows of Manchester’s The Slow Readers Club once again.
The band have announced their fifth studio album, 91 Days In Isolation, out on October 23, with rescheduled live UK and European dates in March and April 2021.
The album is available to pre-order exclusively on the band’s webstore, on very limited colour vinyl and CD, by visiting tsrc.ffm.to/91days.op website.
91 Days in Isolation swiftly follows their Top ten album The Joy Of The Return, released in March this year. Written during the UK lockdown, the album was created with the band all working remotely from home.
Speaking of the writing process for the album, lead singer Aaron Starkie said: “This collection of songs was written remotely during the UK Covid 19 lockdown. With each band member sharing ideas over the Internet, the songs were pieced together at home. When the lockdown lifted we took the songs to Edwin Street Recording Studios in Bury and recorded this album with our producer Phil Bulleyment. We are proud to present 91 Days in Isolation.”
Throughout the entirety of the lockdown, The Slow Readers Club consistently found creative ways of staying connected to their fans. These included exclusive lockdown videos including videos of fan-selected cover songs, “watch together” sessions of previous shows, fan listening parties of their previous albums and an unforgettable acoustic session surrounded by 21,000 vacant seats in a hauntingly desolate Manchester Arena for the venue’s 25th anniversary celebrations.
The new record also sees the band become the first to announce a new album during a ticketed live-streamed concert. Buy a ticket for this from tsrc.ffm. to/veepsstream.opr website. 2021 Tour dates kick off at Foundry, Sheffield, March 17 and end at 02 Academy, Liverpool, April 2.
