The Waterboys to release Out of All This Blue in September

The Waterboys will release new studio album Out of All This Blue on 8th September 2017.

Their first for BMG Records, the new release is a double album produced by Mike Scott and recorded in Dublin and Tokyo. Out of All This Blue will be available on Double CD and Double Vinyl, plus Deluxe Triple CD (including Bonus Tracks) and Deluxe Triple Vinyl (including Bonus Tracks) and Digital.

Comprising 23 songs, the collection is essentially pop with influences of classic R&B, country, soul and funk and underpinned by modern hiphop production values and rhythms. Trey Pollard of The Spacebomb Collective arranged and conducted the string and brass sections.

Mike Scott says of the record: “Out Of All This Blue is 2/3 love and romance, 1/3 stories and observations. I knew from the beginning I wanted to make a double album, and lucky for me – and I hope the listener – the songs just kept coming, and in pop colours.”
