UK band Cold Pumas releasing 'The Hanging Valley' (listen)

cold-pumas

UK band Cold Pumas been making wirey, gloomy indie rock since 2008, having released a series of singles and EPs and 2012 debut Persistent Malaise. They went silent in its wake, as 2/3 of the band moved from Brighton to London, but are finally back as a quartet with their second album, The Hanging Valley, which will be out August 19 via Faux Discx / Gringo Records. The tension inherent in their previous work remains, now all the more driving with a two-guitar attack. (If you like Deerhunter and Preoccupations, this is a record to look out for.) We’ve got the premiere of The Hanging Valley‘s closing track, “Murmur of the Heart” which blends some of their prettiest guitar work with clanging noise. Listen to that, and another album track and the video for “A Change of Course,” below.

You can pre-order The Hanging Valley now. Cold Pumas have a few UK dates lined up for August. Those are listed, along with the album art and tracklist, below.
