Son Of The Smith Sean McGowan SKU: XMR143LP Barcode: 5056032313651 17.00 £17.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Xtra Mile Released Date: 11th May 2018 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Over 13 tracks, ‘Son of the Smith’ – the debut album from rising folk-punk star Sean McGowan – is disarming in its scope, surprising in its erudite tackling of life’s challenges, and strong of voice with just a dab of laddish humour – the aural personification of Sean himself. McGowan could end up soundtracking our social conscience well into next year. The first single taken from the album is ‘Off the Rails’, which sears along with an e-bow guitar drone thrumming underneath while Sean gives the lyrical equivalent of an arm around the shoulder and kiss on the cheek of his mates for being there for him. As a glimpse into ‘Son of the Smith’, it captures his band absolutely ploughing through the parts he wrote for them. In that spirit, ‘Son of the Smith’ captures everything live. Recording at SS2 Studios in Southend with labelmate Sam Duckworth (AKA Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.) and Jay Malhotra, drums were done without a click-track, each instrument colliding with the rhythm. “It feels urgent, like it could tip over the edge at any point,” Sean says. Sean has a huge year lined up in support of the album. Ending 2016 supporting Billy Bragg through the UK he began the year touring with labelmate Will Varley. March sees him head back to his roots in Ireland for a short tour there, before joining up with Will Varley again for a European run in April. Coinciding with the album release he will play a short headline tour throughout May as well as joining Frank Turner for a main stage Artist Sean McGowan Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Xtra Mile Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings Mind the Doors Cuppa Tea Romance Ain’t Dead Skin & Bone (& Blood & Moaning) Porky Pies Oh My Days Mind your Head Springhill Local Boy Autopilot Life has a Way Off the Rails Mind the Gap Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Sean McGowan and more from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo View Product Quick View Sean McGowan Graft & Grief Rock And Pop | Xtra Mile | 12", EP/Mini Album, Includes Download Code Released 8th September 2017 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sean McGowan Graft & Grief £10.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Xtra Mile SKU: XMREP163LP Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album, Includes Download Code Released Date: 8th September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bright Eyes Fevers And Mirrors Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Dead Oceans | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 15th July 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bright Eyes Fevers And Mirrors £25.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Dead Oceans SKU: DOC284LP-C1 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 15th July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Clientele, The I Am Not There Anymore Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Merge Records | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 28th July 2023 £28.00 -
